Shoulder w/o....

This was planned for Saturday to allow plenty of recovery before snatch work - BUT had far too much pain/clunking in my right shoulder to even consider it
So a day late and still in some discomfort I decided to shit or bust!!
W/o went a little like this-
W/up 10 x 5 sets 2hd torch press, 5/5x2x2 16kg swing

10/10 x 5 - torch press
10 x 5 - 2 x 16kg military press
5/5 x 3 - 20kg military press

Found this very tough and the mp all involved some push from the knees
Right shoulder took an age to warm up when it did it was ok but in the warm up stage it was v painful!

On a positive note I think my mojo is near to a return - was very frustrated not to be training yesterday which is always a good place to be
Been looking at my eating and how I intend to sort it out and I can see the way forward and once I'm happy my mojo is in place I will put it into action and see what happens?
That is all sng

heavy swings..........

this w/o went mostly according to plan - i changed the sets/reps a little but the end result remained
went a little like this-
20kg 2hd swing
20 x 15 sets = 300
10 x 20 sets = 200
16kg 1hd swing
10/10 x 10 sets = 200
so 700 swings! of which 500 were with my heaviest bell - quietly pleased with this!
the plan had been 20 x 10 - but as my grip was not too bad despite the heat and the sweat! i carried on for an extra 5 then reduced the number of 10's
rows didnt happen but really due to the fact it was so late and i had really spent myself on these swings - maybe need to look at fitting them in on another day????
rest day today

Swing/snatch combo - shoulder improved.......

Well tonight went according to plan for a change -
Yvette was out at a staff meeting, boys were shattered, so I got them to bed early and set about my w/o -
Hands were a mess after this w/o last week so wore cut down socks to protect my palms
W/o as follows-
16kg swing/snatch combo
5+5/5+5 sw/sn x 25 sets approx 40 secs work to 35 rest
250 reps of each
Right shoulder was almost pain free and for the most of the time I used the correct drop tech rather than the more recent tech I have had to use
I can feel a bit of a niggle now as I write this but nowhere near like it has been
That is all sng

plan is.........

high volume swing/snatch combo - been building this by 1 set each week intend to build to 2 this week as i feel strong!
will need to watch my hands though after last weeks efforts - will try and find/cut some socks to protect them

short shoulder w/o to fit around life......

saturday turned into a manic day and any thoughts of the planned w/o were long gone by midday and late night training was missed due to the coverage of the olympics where we witnessed 3 gold medals for gb in 3 events on the track/field - too good to be missed!
so sunday came round and after another busy day i got to w/o at 9pm - plan was shoulders plan was GOOD FORM and not worry about volume
it went like this-

16kg military press
10/10 x 5 sets
20kg military press
5/5 x 3 sets

all be it ndown on volume a little these felt stronger than ever and the doms today suggest that i wked my shoulders,lats and triceps very hard!
that is all
