It's been a while.  I've been sick, AGAIN!  Seems my immune system is acting kinda shity.  Anyway, I'm ready to get back to training regardless of how I feel(running at about 70% right now).  I have been eating really well lately so that's good!  I have been taking 3 hour naps everyday it seems.  Guess I just needed the rest.  Saturday I did a competition in which I had no business competing.  I had no strength at all but I pushed through it and forgot how to snatch.  Oh well.  Live and learn...

Training:
High hang snatch, work up to 3rm max without form breaking down.  Managed 80# pretty well, stopped there.  Then 85% of that 5x3  used 70#

HBBS
1x10@115
1x8@135
1x6@145

Front squat

Exhausting weekend judging regionals and stressing about the gym flooding AGAIN but everything is good.  I have the best people in my gym, they took care of it all for me.  I love them!  tHEY EVEN DID fRAN AFTER PICKING UP MATS AND IN AN INCH OF WATER!  nOW THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.  Oops, caps lock.  Anyway, I was looking forward to throwing some weights around.

Training:

No hands no feet snatch drill.  accumulate 30 reps at 55#  I think this drill is very important because I feel getting down is currently my biggest issue.  I gotta stop floating down and fucking get down(which I was trying to do here)

2 position clean hips and low thigh build to heavy single then emom 15 min @ 75%
got 115 started looking ugly so i stopped there.  75% will be 86# I'll use 90.  Here's 105

90# felt great.  I feel much stronger.

block push jerk 10x3 80% that would be 115# didn't workout so well so I went down to 105.  Felt ok, certainly not easy.
Out of time.  I'll get to the tabata tomorrow.

This week is a little wonky as far as training goes.  My bout of pluerisy last week, dropping a 35# plate on my toes, Courtney's travel and me judging Regionals this weekends got my shit all screwed up.  I have to say I am definitely stronger than ever despite my what seem like numerous set backs along the way.  I have made many PR's in the last two weeks!  Loving it.  I know I need to focus more, not only with training but with everything.  Training by myself all the time is hard but when people come in I'm more distracted ugh, I'll figure it out and I promise no more FB while training!

Training:
Saturdays programming happened Monday.  Lungs felt much better only a little pain on deep breaths.
PR'd my front squat!!  175#  Which is awesome but as my dear coach pointed out, I had it in my head that I was going to get 175 so that's all I got.  I had more, but that little asshole on my shoulder said "you already got what you asked for" so I dropped 180

Glute ham raises
3x10-15  first time I got 15 each time!
3x 10 TTB toes made it each time and less back swing(I know strict but I need a little help)

21-15-9
thruster 35#
dip on parallettes
3:38

Tuesday
20 min work to 1rm Push press
125# was it. 130 wouldn't go for nothing tried several times.  but I will say I haven't been able to do that weight in a long time.  Felt much stronger there.

8x2 snatch balance 85#
nailed them all, felt good since they used to be pretty sketchy.  i am unable to re- back rack.  It KILLS my shoulders to bring it down so I have to clean the bar in between each rep :/

snatch high pulls @80% used 85#
getting much better at these, pulling up instead of back and keeping it close

Wed
dropped a 35# plate on my toes so I took the day off.  OOOOOOUUUCH I cried like a baby.

Thurs
played with heavy snatches because i didn't see new programming written
65, 85, 95, 105, 115 close but no cookie 120 scary!!

swings from tuesday
dare I say that 70# KB feels lighter??  May need to get a heavier one soon!!!

GO COURTNEY GO!!!  KILL IT THIS WEEKEND!!!  JUST KILL IT! <3 <3 <3 <3

So much for my front squat PR.  Friday afternoon all of a sudden I could not take a deep breath without a stabbing pain in my back.  I decided to sleep on it and see how I felt in the am.  It never got better, went into the gym for a new intake and any exercise(rowing demo) exacerbated the pain so I went to the Dr, I have pluerisy or inflamation of my lung lining.  UGH!  Constant set backs.  I am going completely gluten free as of today.  No more pretzels or beer or hamburger buns.  I had fallen off the wagon pretty hard but now I'm back on it.  Besides I have a photo shoot in less than 2 months and I've gained a bit of a layer that needs to leave.  So, onward and upward!!
