Contest Openers
Objective: Find Contest Openers
Training: 1) Snatch, Singles, 40, 45, ..., 65, 70
2) Clean & Jerk, Singles, 60, 80, 85, 90, 95
Snatch, 70K
Clean & Jerk, 95K
Notes: I have been a nervous wreck the last 4 days because I want to perform at my best for the comp. I ALWAYS feel like I should go heavy more often. It is hard trusting the technique will carry over. In addition, my knee was acting up all day. I torn the left menius about 7 years ago. It doesn't like high volume leg stuff, i.e. 20+ minute CrossFit jazzercise, but heavy squats help it. I have been nice to it lately, but it was "dislocating" all day. Not what you want when you about to throw weights around.
I'm athlete and did what I need to do. My snatch felt great. I was planning to open at 65K, but I think 70K is more appropriate (73K is my PR). My C&J did not feel great. I made 95K without trouble but it was heavy. I might bump it up on Sunday.
Looking at the video, I can add 20k to my total if I fully clean up my technique. Let the record reflect my previous ability - 14 months ago. Regardless of how I perform at the comp, I'm content.
