Snatches are still feeling off. I am going through a phase where I have lost confidence in my ability to snatch. I think after I failed 165 a bunch of times I started over thinking everything. I'm definitely over thinking my set up, it feels different every time and it shouldn't be that way. I also keep landing way forward on my toes. 130 and 140 were alright, definitely could have been better. I was experimenting with snatching without my knee sleeves to see if that made a difference in my stability in the bottom of the squat but I went for 150 and my knees basically buckled underneath me and I failed the rep so errrr yeah had to pull the knee sleeves up for that one. I went for it again and failed because my set up sucked, I took no time to actually get tight in the bottom, I "gripped it and ripped it" basically and as soon as I pulled it off the ground I knew I wasn't going to make it. Went for it a third time and got it, it was actually better than 130 and 140. I'm not sure what's going on lately but it's just mental. I told Heather I used to enjoy snatching but now it just makes me sad because I feel like I'm getting worse at it. Just need to be patient and trust the process.

ANYWAYS. The rest of the session was solid. Bench press was much better than last week, I think 120 was pretty decent to hit for 6. Pendlay rows also felt easier than last week. Farmers carry wasn't bad, except I ripped my hand on the last one, OF COURSE. That's going to sting in the shower. Airdyne sprints were miserable as per ush. I was very glad I only had two instead of three, thank you Stephen for your kindness.

60:00 AirDyne @ Z1, off every 10:00 for 2 easy rounds of CTB "Cindy"


This was tough today, still very sore from the 20:00 piece on Saturday. Pull ups felt good but push ups were rough because of soreness in the arms from muscle ups. Squats felt really stiff, I need to start rolling out before I do this.
