Well Tuesday didn’t go at all well! Snatch practice was meant to be a simple matter of getting confident with my opening lifts, but it couldn’t have gone much worse. I dropped 3 out of 6 attempts at 65kg and dropped 2 out of 3 attempts at 70kg. Honestly, I should be getting every lift at these weights<\/strong>. I think months of training alone with no coaching is taking its toll. :-S<\/p>\n

I still need to lose 5 lbs in the next 18 days so I finished up with a small Crossfit style metcon workout of my own devising. I included burpees as punishment for my failure at the Snatch, lol:<\/p>\n

21 – 15 – 9 reps each of:
\n– 24″ Box jumps
\n– Pull ups
\n– Burpess<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, my time was 12:38.<\/p>\n

As for today (Wednesday<\/strong>), well that was a complete bust. I had felt a twinge in my hamstring<\/strong> doing deadlifts at the weekend, and so eased off. Well whilst I didn’t notice it at the time, I must have aggravated it on Tuesday, as it is slightly sore even to walk on at the moment. I think discretion is the better part of valour and so I’m going to take it easy. The last thing I need is a proper injury 2 weeks before the comp!<\/p>\n

In other news, I’m working on a Crossfit post that has literally taken hours to put together.\u00a0 It’s probably the most useful Crossfit related post I’ve ever done<\/strong> on this blog, something I’ve been thinking of doing for ages and I can’t wait for it to be finished so that I can post it up!\u00a0 It’s even better than the Named Crossfit Workouts (the girls)<\/a> post I did ages ago, that I still haven’t got round to updating yet.\u00a0 One day…<\/p>\n

Anyway, this post will be ready in the next couple of days<\/strong>, it’s going to be awesome.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
