Beginning of August

Working: 80 hours/week
Sleep: average 5 hours/night
Diet: less than 1500
Injuries: knee (both), ankle (right), foot (both) pain is not abating. No opportunities to ice, and these are likely overuse injuries from the increased hours.

Training Saturday, August 1st: Heavy snatch and clean and jerks, followed by a round of Dimel deadlifts (185lb) and explosive shoulder press (95lb). 80% of snatch attempts were missed, and jerks (right-foot split) were sloppy. Most likely a combination of lack of recovery, fatigue, and lack of practice. Strength is there, but form and coordination is not. Will be working straight doubles except for wednesday morning until the meet, so recovery and practice are limited. Upcoming meet will be a huge question mark, but hope springs eternal.
