2/25 training day

Trained with Scotty T, Will and Melissa Metcalf today...
Melissa just got one of the new performance grade women bells.. 16kg. This bell fits her much much better than the standard size comp bells... She needs 55/55 jerks and the same for snatch to make cms. Today she crushed her cms jerk number by going 58/57 or something close to that...  Then on snatches she did 53/53 in 8 minutes! She set 2 big Pr's today! Great day!
Scotty did 2 money sets in Long cycle.. 2x23kg 5,5,5,5,5,4  then 2x28kg 5 minutes 40 reps...
Will did 2x32 7 minutes 54 reps... and his hand was a little mangled but not ripped from yesterdays snatch set... so he did a second set of jerks 2x28 15,14
I have been training with the 20kgs this week... So, I did 2x20 jerks 8 minutes 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,18 feeling pretty good... The I snatches the 20kg 8 minutes 18 rpms..
Good day all around!

I think Im coming out of it now...

Well, I finally put a few days of training in a row.... Nothing big but, I am happy to have some consistency
going... 
I did train one day last week a little bit of one arm stuff, but when I droppe the KB to my chest on the right side... I could feel how congested I am... it triggered coughing fits... So I packed it in...
This thing kicked the crap out of me... I started sleeping all through the night about last thursday... Friday night I slept 8 solid hours... I woke on saturday aroudn 8 am.. I ate and hung around the house... about 1130 I decided to take a nap... I woke up 5 hours later!! That was what really indicated to me how deep of hole I had landed in.... anyway, here is my what I got done this week so far...
Tues... 
I tried some 2x26 jerks... only lasted 1 and half minutes... I only had 2x26kg at me house that day, SO i tried and got stuffed... 
something more realistic... 16kg snatch set 10 minutes 20 rpms... good sweat, not too tough... glad I did it... 
Wens..
went to the gym... feeling good but flat...
I did 16,20,24,28 OAJ 1 min per hand, no rest pretty fast.. like 20, 18,16,14 rpms respectively... immediately repeating on the second hand... this was a good session.. my feet actually hurt afterward...
then 24kg OALC press 10 rpms 6 minutes...
thursday 
2x20 jerks 5 minutes 10 rpms.. felt good shoulders tired from yesterday...
20kg snatch 6 minutes 16-18 rpms..
2000meter row... thats it! 
I have learned that starting light and focussing on technique leads to good things... Goota get back in the rhythm of training!!

Out of Hand Cough!

I started coughing about 2 and half weeks ago. Like the knucklehead I am, I took the flim flam approach to treating this.. I started out with Homeopathic remedies, then throat coat teas, upped the cod liver oil... Then I went to the minute clinic at CVS, I figures it would be a simple matter, 3 visits later I had to see my doctor..( which I should have done in the beginning)... I finally go the right meds and I am confident that the worst over... 
So I had to stop training and focus on coughing... Hopefully I will back to training soonly!!
