- Power Snatch + Snatch (knee, blocks)
- 2+1; 1+2; 1+2 @ 80% (56)
- 2+2; 2+1; 1+2 @ 85% (60)
- Was supposed to do some work at 87% too, but my shoulder/back problem was bothering me and my form was not too great so coach cut me off. I'm feeling pretty discouraged about this injury.
- C&J
- Abandoned these during my warm up, because catching the clean, even at 55kg, aggravated the shoulder. Very discouraged.
- Snatch Pulls
- Strict Press (wide grip) behind the neck
- 15kg, 5x10
- added on the fly. These did not hurt. Just nice and easy.
Left the gym feeling very discouraged. Came home and spoke with my father (a Dr.) about the current treatment and diagnostic plan for my back. My husband was in the on the discussion as well. Needless to say, this injury is adding A LOT of expense to an already expensive hobby. I wasn't feeling a lot of support and understanding from my family tonight. It left me feeling very discouraged and disappointed. In their minds, the "logical" thing to do is to stop training, take six weeks off and let the injury get better on it's own...instead of spending money with different treatment plans to make it better. While I understand their rationale, it goes against everything in my nature to abandon my goals and just give up. I don't have the luxury of time right now. I have very limited time to reach the goals that I've set for myself, and given the fact that this is kind of a one-time shot (because my husband wants to have another child after nationals), I have to give it all I've got while I can. I don't know if I'll ever have this chance again...and most likely won't. I am a fighter. I am a competitor. I was meant to do great things. Even when difficulties and hardships arise. I've committed myself to something and I will see it through. But...I need their support. I can't do it without my husband's support and hopefully, encouragement. He has given me wings to fly on this journey...and I hope he will continue providing the wind, too.
