The Good News and The Bad News...
Had make the workout quick today. Also, I am on the road and I only have my 2 pood KB and a couple of grippers.
Good News: New snatch PR
Bad News: Tore open a callous on the left hand.
Dammit! For some reason lately when I have snatched my right hand is completely fine, but my left gets TORE UP. I gotta figure out what I am doing wrong here. There is no reason for a callous to get torn open on this many reps. I was REALLY bummed because I was looking forward to focusing on snatches all week.
ROM Warmup
Snatches @ 2pd (same on right and left)
5>10>5>5>7>broken skin
TT: 15min
Total: 64 Snatches @ 2pd.[PR]
rest 4min
Swings @ 2pd.
25>25>25>25
TT: 7 min.[PR]
rest 3min
Bent Over Row @ 2pd. X 10
Front Squat @ 2pd. X 5
TT: 38min.
The thing that really pisses me off about the torn callous is that last years when I was training for the XCountry GS meet and was doing tons and tons of snatches I had no problem with torn skin at all. I seem to have lost that technique since then.
So, because I got cut short with the snatches I put in the set of swings. I quickly leafed through my workout log and found that I had done 4 sets of 25 in 6 min. Several weeks ago, so I made this my goal time. Well, this set I completed in 7 min and I was disappointed until I looked in the workbook again and saw that the swings done in 6 min several weeks ago was with the 1.5 pood. So that is a great improvement. Cardio is definitely getting better.

Original plan was to do 3 sets:
5>10>5
5>7>5
5>5>5
but I got screwed right in the middle and I didn't take much of a rest in between the first and second set so I wrote it out as one.

A tip i got from Federenko a few weeks ago on snatch technique:
On the backswing, make sure the KBdoesn't do any extra little swing (VF called it "shaking") in the hand. It is subtle to see, but makes a lot of difference. Either video yourself from the side or have someone watch to see if you do it. I wasn't even aware of it until VF told me.
