I did two or three of these circuits.. it’s supposed to be six. I just didn’t feel I had it in me today, physically or mentally. Probably more of the latter.

Thoughts: I think the early mornings have caught up with me today.

I did ten minutes of stretching and foam roller.

I skipped intervals today. Lazy, I guess.

I find I don’t peter out as much as I think I should when I do these mid-day workouts. I’ve been up since 3:00am. However, that being said, my rest periods weren’t very strict today.

Thoughts: *watch form! I think I was cheating a little bit.

I did 17 minutes of stretching and foam roller after.

I ripped open a callus on my right hand I have courtesy of putting a bed together. It didn’t hurt, but I was well aware of it on the third set of snatches. Because of that, my form suffered a tad.

Also, my rest periods were too long.

Thoughts: I took some rests durin the intervals. I was getting pretty exhausted.

I did nineteen minutes of stretching and foam roller afterward.

My right shoulder feels sore. I have no idea what I did, but the only thing I can attribute it to is while I was sleeping. I remember waking up, rolling over and my right arm collapsing under my weight. It hurt like crazy. That might be the cause of the soreness.

My rests were too long between interval circuits. On a bike or similar piece of equipment, you can’t make ‘rest’ excuses like you can when you wander between tools.

Good today. No pain aside from a pinch/tightness in right collar bone during swings. I kept adjusting to make sure I was using proper form.

Today was to be a Willy Nilly day.. it was.. and I met with limited success.

While I do like some structure to a workout, I kinda went in unplanned, but still with a plan. I didn’t plan on the outcome.

Warm Up: 4:30

Clean & Press: four minutes with the 55lb bell. No amount of reps counted, just get the four minutes done while switching from arm to arm as needed.

Snatch: 30 seconds per side by two. Here is where things went sideways. I was going into my third set on the left side. I got twenty seconds in and **BAM** a sudden painful pull in my left lat. It wraps from the side, angles slightly down (following the lat) to the spine just along the lower part of my rib cage.

I did some stretching and foam roller afterward to hopefully ease some pain. Hope that helps. We’ll see ho wit feels on Friday. May go back and try again.

Ugh.
