Birthday yesterday, ticked over to 42, wonder when I'll reach my peak?

Wrist is feeling pretty good at the moment but the pain in the hand remains and continues to scupper the overhead work.

Had a brainwave over the weekend to bring the grip in on th snatch to reduce the angle on the wrist/hand..

Pwr Snatch from hang narrower grip

Not great but better than nothing, and the pain was reduced somewhat by the narrower grip

Joe was down tonight and I could feel his eyes on me all night. He's a nice enough bloke but the sooner he comes out of the closet the better, not that I'm interested of course, but it will be better for him to be honest about it..

Pretty poor to be honest, but the wrist wasnt too bad. I'll blame the poor show on the snatch pulls on Monday

Alan wants a few cleans off blocks to finish, 100,105,110

Clean off Blocks
100 x1
110 x1
120 x1
Best cleans of the night, which sort of vindicates my thoughts of the snatch pulls buggering me up a bit.

Cleans from blocks are now a keeper for a bit, get that top pull going.

Wrist held up well tonight, that is the good news, the bad was I was generally rubbish Grin

Lots of talk of Pete's status as a Gay Icon and the possible coinage he could reap if he got himself a website!!

Dodgy wrists are where it's at Tone. Difference being i had surgery on mine to supposedly fix it, but it is either a very very slow recovery or it is worse than before i had it done!!

you having any treatment on yours?

Bored of keeping this log, so this will probably be the last entry, training will continue and some form of diary will no doubt be kept, but this is the end of the log..

no treatment want to get some basic background work in first so dont matter about lifts next comp at least 6 months away.

concentrating on back squats, Sn and cl pulls (heavy), deads, cleans no pain and maybe
DB overhead work barbell too painful

try now and then power snatch (close grip), power clean and jerks (very light if at all), used to love front squats not even interested now

Sounds similar to how my wrist was post-operation, thankfully it seems to be on the mend now fingers crossed. Good luck with it, hope it starts to improve soon!!
