Part I: Catching up on training logs



The eleven training logs below take me up to the last Thursday before the Atlantic States Open. There was snatch PR of 77kg a week and half before the competition but c&j never recovered the form needed to repeat my PR of 100kg. I also attempted a few post session kettlebell snatch practice in preparation for assisting in the late June Russian Kettlebell Challenge Certification. As I got close to meet, I had to abandon it as it was starting to impact my lifts. I will resume again after the meet.

The above photo is of the 75kg Womens Class National Champion, Ingrid Marcum, a.k.a, Hurricane Ingrid, in the receiving position of snatch of 88kg. Notice how comfortably she has positioned her torso in between her hips. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Ingrid when she stopped by our club just before heading out to Germany for the Olympic bobsled trials right after the new year.

Last Tuesday session before Sunday's meet. A horrible session .. I left in disgust after missing three consecutive snatch singles with 55. Coach Denis Reno confided its good to get a poor session out of the way now than at the meet.
