Best days lifting ever! After failing 55kg snatch twice:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OVzrcovVnY, http://www.youtube.c...h?v=UNyXUzHjZaQ, I had taken off my wraps and was walking away when Tommy suggested I try 56kg. I thought he was off his rocker but coach knows best so I gave it a shot and this was the result: http://www.youtube.c...?v=MEKAcYrKXaE. Felt so good after this!
Took about ten minutes to swagger around feeling like queen of the universe, then came back to clean and jerk.
All plain sailing, 65kg was solid http://www.youtube.c...h?v=zydS-81Z5LA, someone misloaded the bar so after that was 68.75kg. Clean was easy, I think I had the jerk too far back overhead so it turned into an overhead wrestling match that I failed: http://www.youtube.c...?v=9WG07vCYMuA. Decided to have one last bash at getting 70kg and again, clean was solid but jerk was too far forward: http://www.youtube.c.../0/1EU7kzRhmaE. I'm happy enough that it's there though. Pretty sure that I might be able to do it for the Seniors in 3 weeks time.

Time to eat my weight in food now, feeling hungry after that! Great bloody day, I <3 ECB

Clean of 65kg was nice and easy. The jerk was tough enough but due to technical deficiencies, I haven't had the opportunity to be in a position to put that much effort into the jerk before now. There's more in the tank though, I'm happy enough that I can probably begin to take out a bit of slack on this lift!
Hips are screaming sore from squats so we called it a day at 85% there. I'm going to ice the hell out of them and pray they get better for Saturday.

Monday 11th April 2011- Max week!
Snatch: 25kg x 3, 30kg x 3, 36kg x 3, 39kg x 3, 42kg x 2, 44kg, 47kg, 49kg, 52kg, 55kg (+2kg pr woohoo!), 57kg (f x 2)

Felt mostly okay going in today but hips were a bit tight. It didn't stop me pulling a very easy 55kg that surprised the hell outta me. I was so unprepared for it, I just hadn't got anymore than that in my head so if I'm honest, attempts at the 57kg were completely half assed.
Squatting was rather painful in my hips but I had told myself I was going to do 120kg for a 5kg a2g highbar pr today so I bloody well did it. That'll do.

Stretched ankles, glutes and hips after. Even though I appear to be more flexible and I'm hitting positions that I couldn't hit before, the pains in my hips aren't any less. I must investigate this before it becomes an issue.
