mishima said:Maybe you should stay away from the snatch for a while, keep on snatching might slow the healing down. You could work on the squats and pulls for the time being.
Lifting through the pain may not be the most effective way in the long run. If you see what i mean. Plus it's not like your tech is pants anyway!

Just my 2p mate!


You're 100% right mate, i think kidding myself i can lift through the pain and still expect it to heal right is a bit stupid. Looks like it's pulls and squats only for the time being, s**te, but necessary!!

It is five weeks since an op that was supposed to be a 6-12 week recovery time *for normal use*. Your usage of it is not normal! Patience, amigo. I know it's tough.

You are, of course, quite correct Rick. It's just hard (and boring) not doing stuff! Unhappy

Old fella is still in hospital so doing a lot of running about and a bit of worrying about him so that probably doesn't help.

It's been a while since you last squatted 190k if my memory serves me right.
Keep them legs strong mate, the wrist will get back to normal eventually.

Good memory Mish, you are indeed correct, not been up to 190 for a good while, aS have been favouring the knees but enough is enough. The plan is to get up to 190 for a few doubles on a regular basis and that should be good enough to put me back on the road for 120 / 150. Only trouble with that plan is this fcukin wrist.

Plenty of bar work on C&J, wrist was ok, but always is with an empty bar.

Started taking my Diclafenec every day now to see if that can speed up the recovery of the wrist.

Clean Pull two straps (first time that hasnt irritated the bad wrist)
70 x5
70 x5
120 x3
160 x3
180 x2
200 x2
160 x3
160 x3
160 x3

Front Squat clean grip, just to see how the wrist is
40 x5
60 x5
80 x3
100 x3
110 x2
120 x2
130 x2
Wrist handled these quite well, hmmmmm, but 130 was enough for tonight.

Bench Press about 6x5 with something

Db Curl 3x10

Quiet tonight, no Al as he's on international duty with Fred. No George, he's on holiday. No Andy, he's having car problems. No Rick, he's AWOL. But Aaron and Jake are there early on and Pete later so some good company none the less.

Not touched a weight for a week due to various reasons, but have been having my anti-inflams every day to see if the wrist improves at all.

Clean and Jerk
Bar x a lot
60 x2
60 x2
60 x2
80 x1
100 x1
120 x1
120 x1
120 x1
130 x clean only
100 x1 (pwr cln+jerk)
100 x1 as above

Wrist was ok on these, stiff and achey but not painful. However, i was still very tentative overhead and strange sensations all up my right arm and shoulder. Eight weeks not holding any weight overhead has taken its toll. It will take some time to get moving again by the looks of it. Cleans were nice though.

Clean Pull
150 x3
160 x3
160 x3
Back is feeling the overhead work Unhappy

Press
50 x5
60 x5
70 x3
80 x2
80 x2
80 x2
70 x3
70 x3
60 x4
Wrist ok, presses poo

Homeski..

At least the wrist let me do some proper stuff tonight, just a shame the lack of overhead work appears to have left me a bit spastic.
