An OK start to the New Year. Working for better!!

So its been about 2 weeks into 2012 and i wish it were better. Training hasn't been where I wanted it to be but I think the wheels are about to get rolling. I recently got promoted at my job to Assistant Fitness Manager which allows me to handle more responsibilities and get a few more hours of work. Not to mention a few more dollars in my pocket. Happy about that!!! But now I have to schedule my workouts and my clients a little better. So that may be a bit of a challenge because of my long days (4am wake up- 10or 11pm sleep) UGH!! But none the less there are competitions coming up and I need to get ready for them. My training so far hasn't been too consistent. Here is what it looked like for the first couple of weeks.

Things I need to get stronger are legs with out a doubt and my right shoulder. As I get higher reps and longer into the set my right shoulder doesn't Lock in to fixate the bell at the top. I also need to get more Snatching workout sets in.
