- light KB work (swings, snatches) x 20 mins
the left-right disparity on snatches is stark. easy, natural movement on the right side. not at all on left, where i have a hard time relaxing my hand in the right order to get the KB around without banging my forearm.
DIET
breakfast: smoothie, two cups of coffee
lunch: pulled pork, bean salad, cup of milk
dinner: indian snacks, a little pasta with tomatoes and sausage
other: glass of wine
SLEEP
9 hours

terminology problem: i call that a two-step jump. the last step is a step. the bit where you have your foot off the floor is a weird false step.

not full depth and your right heel flutters a little on at least one of the reps. otherwise they look pretty solid.

yeah he was definitely creative. and he definitely believed what he was saying, or at least that whatever he was doing was worth trying. the couple of workouts we did together were normal sprint workouts, for the most part, although he had a thing for "horizontal depth jumps" -- basically a submax broad jump that transitions to a SVJ.

when do you put on wrist wraps? like at what weight? curious because i just started benching again and my wrists are taking some time to adjust, even at the light weights i've been using. never used wraps before, although i never got that strong, something like 225 for sets of 5.
some of the discomfort is just relearning the grip, i know.
