Last week in review 1/23- 1/27

Last week I was able to get in 3 good days of training. I have switched my schedule around to make sure I get in at least 3 days a week training and slowly build up. I am still working at my job from early day to late at night so the day rest is much needed. My focus of the week was to increase my time and continue to build my jerk and snatch. Still throwing in some GPP into the workout. I feel like its all helping my push further in my workouts. Starting tomorrow I'll be 8 weeks away from my FIRST competition of 2012. I am hoping for good results there. So I am kicking my ass!!!

It was a good week of training. This week I will have to try a 10 min set with snatch.I have been practicing and it is getting better. I will be testing again. My body is responding well to the training so far. I will need to amp it up soon! I am still focused on my first comp. It feels like I'm starting all over again.

Tuesday was a good easy session. I just wanted to last the time. That was the goal of the workout. Yesterday 1/20/10 I didn't get a chance to train which sucks. Work and personal business got in the way. No excuses though. I will be back on schedule today with timed sets. I may start working with the 20kgs again this weekend. The use of the club bells are a big help in bringing my shoulder blade back to 100%. Apparently I put a lot of the weight there when I rest over head. I am slowly building up back to the 24kgs so I can peak at the Arnold Sports Festival.
