Tues, 14 July 15
Today I learned that at the present time, I do not like doing weightlifting or similar movements at the beginning of all my gym days. This might very well be different if I was training with someone who could cue me when I'm being a moron to help correct and improve my technique, but for now with training solo and having to use an old and somewhat rusty power bar instead of a nice, needle bearing weightlifting bar, plus doing cleans with the axle and log, esto no es bueno para mi. How can I tell you ask? Easy. I'm doing a little more volume currently, but not a lot more and I'm not doing anything that hard or heavy while I test out some things for my next big training block, so I should definitely not be feeling beat up on the second day into a training week. But with my posterior left shoulder (most likely either infraspinatus or teres minor) feeling a little off yesterday and bilateral posterior shoulders and anterior hips feeling over worked, beat up is exactly how I feel. So I will probably skip the 3 position snatches I had planned for Thursday and reorganize my training plan for next week to have snatch and clean work only on the first and third gym days instead of all three. I also realized yesterday that there is a very slight downward angle in my garage that I only notice so far when deadlifting. I have devised a brilliant plan to correct this that I will hopefully carry out within the week, depending on the weather. But I still maintain that training in my garage is gnarli(er).
