Athlete Notes:
Some of you may opt to repeat 21.1. If that is the case then please make that your focus for the day.
Use the Tall Snatch drill to warm up your speed and timing for your snatches. Cue fast feet and fast hands for that drill. Then go by feel with your snatches. If you are feeling strong and that bar is moving well, go for a new 1-rm. If your CNS is tired then work up to a medium/heavy weight and work on consistency.
Today’s workout is a good chance to get yourself moving consistently for 15 minutes. The goal is to work through the push press and toes to bar smoothly without rest. Your speed on the entire workout should come down to how fast you ski or row. If you are confident on toes to bar and can perform them when fatigued then push the machines. If you struggle with toes to bar then go a little easier on the machines so you can keep taking shots at big sets on the toes to bar. Take note of your breathe on your push press and make sure you have a good rhythm for when you inhale and exhale as this makes a HUGE difference with your heart rate.

*Please only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

What has been going on with the bicep and elbow tendons?
Hey Nichole, Not sure, but have some issues with my right bicep and right shoulder, so I am erring on the side of caution. The eccentric movement on the DB snatches aggravated it, so a little sore. Just nagging…
Glad you are being cautious with it then! I would suggest avoiding pulling tomorrow and then lets touch base depending on what the workout is on Thursday – may have you wait until Monday to tackle it if there is a lot of pulling.
