Comments: Competition in 10 days time that apparently I've been entered for. To be honest I'm more worried about how the hell I'm going to get some money together for shoes and a singlet than what I'll lift. When I first learned about it all sorts of excuses flew through my head as to why I couldn't do it. But then I just thought lets get the first one out of the way - there will never be a right time. We started talking about what each other expected to lift but then I just said to Maurice that I want to make 6 lifts, PRs etc can take care of itself. That took a bit of pressure off me.

So training has changed a little in preperation for this and today was all about the Snatch with a little bit of C&J volume at the end. Early on in the session I was power snatching, OH Squatting and squat snatching in an attempt to get better at squat snatch. On one ocassion though I accidently split snatched - I immediately did it again the next rep and it felt pretty good.

Maurice had me try these on my first session and I found them to be the most akward of movements. Today though they were all I did - prehaps the split cleans I do have a lot to do with this. I managed a PR of 52.5kgs in the snatch even though I was getting drained at that point. Heavy C&Js on Friday now I think and then probably taking it easy for a week.
