Strength: Snatch Press from receiving – up to 100 for 3 reps Snatch balance with pause – up to 145 felt solid Snatches – up to 175 (97%), missed 3 times, hit 4th time, tried 180 (100%) three times but no luck – I felt great mentally and physically but for some reason my snatches were just a little off each time. I usually am better at just walking away after two misses but I didn’t want to waste feeling so good, lol. I’ll save that PR for another day I guess!

So I had to modify a little bit today. It’s so bizarre, but I really hurt my ring finger the other day doing chest to bar and it still hurts to do any pulling or squeeze anything tightly.

Hit all percentages up until 97% (155#) it could’ve been my finger bothering me but it seems that I get to this weight and start getting mental about it and it’s really… Read more »

I woke up at 5 am this morning after 5-6 hr sleep, to make an offer on a house (which ended up not getting accepted:?) but surprisingly today I felt much much better than yesterday even though my shoulder still hurts and I was sleep deprived. Primary strength: A. Press from receiving up to 85 lbs for 3 B. Snatch balance with pause up to 150 lbs, 10 lb Pr! C. Snatch starred at 85 lb, succeeded 120lbs, then jumped up to 127.5lbs and got under it 3 times but missed. It felt light, just need to work on form…I… Read more »

Sorry to hear about the offer falling through but whats for you won’t go by you! Nice work on the snatch balance PR. Take on board what Blaine and I said about your start position and it should help.

Lastly, its ok to rest and the reason why your shoulder still hurts is because you won’t let it heal. Snatching, CTB, pull-ups and climbing will do zero to help. If you want to be healthy and progress in the sport you need to start training smarter.
