So, I broke open a callous on my left hand on my last workout on Sunday. I put Neosporen on it every night and Gold Bond hand lotion during the day. By Thuresday the sore was completely healed and I felt it was even well enough to try snatches on. So I go cocky and set out to complete the workout I got interrupted on last time. I really focused on not letting the KB "shake". I also figured out that I was not "bouncing" the KB up on the downswing on the left as much as I was on the right. So I put a paper towel around the handle and went after it.

The snatches were fealing really great, and I was thinking, "Oh man, I am going to get on the DDoor forum and brag about how I healed up that brooken callous in only 3 days and now I am snatching again and wil lbreak my old PR." Well, exactly at the same point as last time I felt some pain in the left hand. Tossed the KB to the right, finished the set, and looked down at my hand - torn callous AND blood. *$(@$#!@!!!! I was soooo pissed.

I was really pissed because the snatches were feeling so good and I was really concentrating on my form. So now the question is, did this happen because of my form? Or, would it have happened anyway because the skin was weak and still healing. Either way, a cocky and stupid move on my part and I paid for it. I will not be bragging on DragonDoor. Let's see how the skin looks on Monday though.
