 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Wednesday 15 September 2010 Stitches came out of the hand yesterday and the bandage replaced with a small dressing. Back of the hand is still very swollen and still no feeling in the skin around the knuckles of the first two fingers. Tried a bit of messing about with an empty bar, anything that bends the wrist back is still a big no no, too painful at the minute. Wound would be aggravated by straps so no pulls, deadlifts it is then.

Few light press behind neck to try to keep the soldiers from siezing up | ||

Front squat was a no no, but power snatches didnt jip it, and neither did overhead squats. Messed about for a good while then..... 50k power snatch, and i thought I'd gone and broken my wrist!!! Serious amount of pain that lasted a good 20 minutes, and a dull ache that lasted the rest of the session.

Despite the pain on Monday, today there is slightly less pain on front squats, so hopefully another week or so it should be ok to lift on (fingers crossed). Regional Masters in three weeks, I had written it off but it appears Alan may have other ideas!! Deadlift hook grip 70 x5 70 x5 120 x3 150 x3 170 x2 190 x2 210 x1 230 xF welded to the floor, half hearted attempt, pretty poor really 210 x1 210 x1 200 x2 200 x2 190 x3 190 x3 170 x5 It's 22:20 now and my thumbs are still numb from these.. Clean Pull one strap left hand 150 x3 150 x3 150 x3 Press behind neck 3x10 upto 30k, wrist feeling it throughout, maybe not a great idea. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Friday 24 September 2010 Very quick one tonight, not much time, all done and dusted in 45 minutes Bar work to test the wrist, less pain once again. Empty bar front squats with clean grip were relatively pain free, as were a few empty bar jerks. Front Squats crossed arms 70 x5 70 x5 100 x3 110 x2 120 x2 130 x2 140 x2 140 x2 140 x2 Press 50 x5 50 x5 50 x5 Wrist was ok, not 100% but much improved. Front Squat (clean grip) 50 x5 not too bad Jerk 50 x2 ok-ish Home for corned beef hash! | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 27 September 2010 Lots of bar work on the snatch, wrist is better than last week but still sore. Full snatches are ok but a little sore. Power Snatch worked in with George 40 x3 40 x3 tried a full snatch on last one and way too painful just yet 45 x3 50 x3 55 x3 60 x1 60 x1 Wrist was starting to feel it toward the end, but a whole lot better than the pain last week. Snatch Deadlift hook grip 120 x3 140 x2 160 x2 160 x2 160 x2 Snatch Pull one strap, still too painful to use strap on right wrist 130 x3 130 x3 130 x3 130 x3 From blocks 110 x3 110 x3 110 x3 Press 40 x5 50 x5 60 x5 60 x5 60 x5 60 x5 60 x5 Wrist was sore but again there is some improvement. George snatched well and got a nice 90 pb jerk from racks, well done George! | ||

Is there any improvement whatsoever regarding the wrist? George has been on here and even posted in Pete's log, not sure if he'll be up for starting a journal though. He's a good trainer, gets stuck in and does as he's told. Wrist is gradually improving, tried a 50k power snatch a week ago and it nearly killed me, this week a few reps with 40ish and a couple of singles with 60 and it was bearable, full snatch was too painful but I can feel it's getting there. Not overly concerned I reckon another couple of weeks and it'll be getting there. I think Al has ideas about me lifting in a comp on 16th Oct and I havent ruled it out, basic strength is ok so could always make it my comeback workout on the full movements  | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Wednesday 29 September 2010 Bored with the pulls and squats stuff, try a few power cleans see how the wrist is.. Pwr Clean & Split Jerk 40 x2 40 x2 60 x2 80 x2 90 x2 100 x2 Wrist not too bad, most discomfort is holding the weight overhead. Do one more 110 x1 Go on one more 120 x1 Jerk was a bit suss as discomfort in the wrist sort of made me hesitant getting my head through. Can't complain about these, the op on the wrist was just less than 4 weeks ago, reckon another week or so and will be back to normal. Squat knee sleeves 60 x5 110 x3 150 x2 175 x2 175 x2 175 x2 160 x5 Press behind neck 40 x5 50 x5 60 x5 60 x5 60 x5 Wrist uncomfortable but not painful | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 04 October 2010 Plan today was to do some pain free power snatches as the recovery of the wrist continued. Didn't happen!!!! Power Snatch Bar x loads 50 x3 50 x3 wrist niggling 60 x2 wrist 'kin hurt 70 x1 wrist said f**k OFF 80 XF wrist said f**k OFF Completely and utterly dispondent, thought the wrist was recovering well but tonight was a rude awakening that that is far from the truth!!! Not happen Snatch Pull one strap 110 x3 120 x3 120 x3 120 x3 120 x3 120 x3 Squat knee sleeves 70 x5 120 x3 140 x3 160 x2 180 x2 180 x2 180 x2 165 x3 Had enough now, call it quits!! Press 50 x5 60 x3 70 x3 70 x3 70 x3 70 x3 70 x3 Wrist was gripey but bearable. Feel like the shoulders are seizing up a bit with the lack of overhead work Home! | ||

pink french superstar beard Member 26, 4030 posts SQ 190, BP 0, DL 205395.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | 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! | ||
