My left palm is more or less healed, so decided to try another 7 mins but with the 32kg bell. Warms up with 24 and the 28kg.
Managed 62 reps but a couple of no reps on my left arm. Needed to switch to right arm before 3 mins but did well to finish.
The monthly challenge allow only 1 submission but I would have scored much higher with the 32kg, due to twice the coefficient of the 24kg.
Garage roof ‘extension’ is working well!
IKMF in conjunction with EKA ran an online competition for half/full marathon. (30/60 mins)
Decided to try OAJ in the 24kg first, aiming to beat my previous PB of 403 reps.
Managed 446 reps and found out afterwards that 450 would have given me Senior CMS.
Decided to try snatch with the 24kg and ok up to 18 mins, when my hands started to rip, especially my left palm. Had to stop.
Was keen to try again before the end of the week but was unable to try OALC with a decent weight.
Decided to have a go at TAJ with the 16kg bells. Going tactically I let the reps as low as possible and it ended up being an endurance rack hold with moments of relief for a jerk.
Found out afterwards that I did 86 reps.
Have previously done 137 reps in 10 mins but this was 30!
Decided to have a go at the KSIA competition.
Weighed in at 97.3kg and chose the 24kg bell, as my left hand was still very sore.
Got through the 7 mins ok with 86 reps in total.
Another online competition!
5 min sets of multiple switch, snatch, OAJ and OALC. Rest in between and best reps x weight wins.
Did very well and managed 1st place in my age category.
Did a Zoom row again this morning, starting earlier than usual, as 10k rather than 5k.
Took the first 5k fairly steady and slightly faster in the 2nd 5k. Time of 39:18. Not bad and I am sure I could knock some time off this.
This evening did a 10 min snatch set in the garage. Decided to try the 24kg. Managed 127 reps, despite a ceiling bounce after about a minute. Recovered well I thought!
Got my online IUKL certificate through and first place in Biathlon for 20kg bells in my age category. Even better was my score of 174 points, which meant I only got a single no-rep in my Jerks or two in the snatch!
