Eating: Roughly Paleo, approx. 2200 calories, ad lib and throughout all waking hours. Periodic alcohol, caffeine, sugar and dairy consumption.
Energy levels: generally weak; getting on the bike for the commute is sluggish, and 4 hours of sleep per night is grinding down
Upcoming competitions: O-lifting meet Aug 9, Aug 22nd, then USAWeightlifting Coach Cert in September
Training: heavy singles with both of the lifts - only getting 4 non-working shifts per week means that I have to go big every time.
July 28 - Heavy Snatch, followed by jerk practice loaded at 40kg. Tried out both squat jerks and right-food splits. Snatches went up to 75kg - form deteriorated because of early hip rise due to wrong mental state - "I have to get up and under fast." Need to stay calm in the 1st pull so that I can be sure to set myself up correctly for the second. Afraid that too much cautiousness will lead to an extremely slow 1st pull, leaving me doing hang snatches instead of full ones.
July 29 - Heavy C&J - worked up to 95kg, had a scary dump on the jerk. Still debatable as to whether I will be using a right-foot split or squat jerk for the meet. 95kg put me in the hole and I had to struggle to get out. 100kg might actually be limited by strength rather than technique.
