REVIEW
plan for february was 4 x work out per as follows -
tuesday - swing
thursday - snatch
saturday - swing
sunday - pressing
managed 4 x work out in the most part but fell into a more sensible pattern as follows to allow better recovery etc -
tuesday-snatch
thursday-powerswing
saturday-shoulders
sunday-swing
missedd the odd workout due to holiday and hangover (no excuse i know! - the important thing for feb was to maintain the training habit and snatch again whilst incresing volume/weight/intensity etc - on this note i feel it was a success)
i planned to swing, snatch and press and that is exactly what i have done - swing wise ive concentrated on power swings to allow me to use a heavier bell - working on a 4 week cycle (increasing vol/int for 3 then cutting back for 1) and ive re introduced the snatch doing both v02 and heay work in the same workout using a similar 4 week cycle - press wise i have had to play around a bit as i can not get a good groove on my left side - the power is there but it hurts in and around the joint so whilst i have done long cycle c and p in the main i have done some strict military pressing and more recently used a light barbell
the numbers -
350 long cycle clean and press/military press (various weights) - 1 x missed work out
836 snatch various weights v02/heavy
2550 swings various weights/styles - 1 x missed workout
again i planned to get control of my weight - not without success for the early part of the period then 3 x birthdays fell closely together and i gained what i had lost - BUT on a positive i have changed shape and despite the numbers on the scale my waist is smaller and my upper body has a better shape
so in summary am i pleased YES could i do better YES and will i do better YES - just need to focus more and not let silly things interupt my routine (family days/time is an acceptable excuse - hangover isnt)
PLANS
1 will still ain to work out 4 x per week - tue,thus,sat and sun
i will continue with the workout routine as it has developed with a couple of additions as follows
snatch holds will follow powerswings on thursdays
start to do some rows on shoulders days
tuesday - snatch
thursday - powerswing/snatch holds
saturday - pressing/rows
sunday - swing
this review is a little late and the above programme has started so all i have to do now is maintain it throught the month
thats it sng
