Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
Crappy day in the gym today. Hungover this morning and ended up spending most of the day driving my friend to look at trucks - got back home at 7ish and went to the gym.
500m row 1;44 @ 21
stretching
power snatchs + ohs
Snatch:
3x95x3
started failing at higher weights and quit
C&J:
3x135
3x155
1x165x2
1x175
1x175 fail jerk
1x175x2
1x175 fail jerk
Awful awful lifts: combination of drinking/getting high night before, eating crap during the day, messed up schedule by working out so late and plus some nagging weakness in shoulders from Diane on Tuesday. I havent failed jerks at 175 in a month, but meh. . . always going to be [censored] days in the gym.
One of my biggest problems with the o-lifts especially is not having the mental focus everyday. All these failed lifts (especially in the snatch) have started to psych me out. It takes a certain level of fearlessness to jump underneath a bar with x pounds on it overhead. When I'm confident that I can lock out and stand up then my form is much much better, but when I start to worry about dropping it my form goes to [censored] and I end up of course failing the lift. Not sure what to do but to keep at it, maybe do a lot more volume at lower weights.
