Oh how the times deteriorate so fast between this and the first block:(

If that makes sense!!

Sunday 15th of July-Training done for the week already, so play around day today.
Mucked about practising snatches and cleans<
need to remember to stop a lil higher and not let the bum tuck under
Jerks
Weight on the heels
Push knees outwards
and BAM!!!! Front foot forward
Highlight of the day was split snatching by accident when I meant to jerk the bar...so next time I ask my famous question of 'which one is this again?'...I'm actually not kidding, I get snatches and cleans mixed up!:pac:
Good buzz in the gym today
Later-12km cycle
Still only doing the same route but am WAY more confident out on the roads...new route this week:D0 -

I'm ridiculously jealous! It's somewhere I actually wanna visit again..bit surreal the first time ya see it.gymfreak wrote:Ate icecream daily
I think its very disrespectful not to taste the local cuisine whilst on holiday...that includes stopping at every gelato shop and tasting and comparing to the nextCOH wrote:Athlete Oooooh the icecream..yet again I'm jealous!!!gymfreak wrote:plenty of Pizza and Pasta too and managed to come home only weighing 56.3kg...I'm pretty impressed..was fully expecting to be up in the 60s:
Wait til you see the amount of oil that they pour on everything..and the breakfasts...rolls. croissants, biscuits, apple tarts served with a teeny bit of meat and cheese. The amount of carbs they eat is CRAZY!COH wrote:Disappointing. I'm looking to put on a solid 30-40kg over there

Very different class, lots of breathing and relaxing stuff and not a lot of stretching
Different strokes for different folks and all that!! Gonna have to find a new yoga class for when I go back to school cos yoga lady only does mornings.
Decided to take a rest day to help my legs get over their DOMs.0 -
