Working on the snatch. I practiced with the empty 15kg bar for most of the session as usual, began to feel very disheartened as just felt I wasn't getting it. However, right towards the end Coach observed and told me it was looking a lot better, so there is hope for me yet! Went up to 20kg for the last few reps, the only one in the class to be at that weight still. ...if I thought that was bad, I had yet to do my back squats...
...so heavy squats, I'm good at these right? Did 70kg last week no problem so this should be easy, yes? ..oh dear. ...so, its 2 reps this week- I went through the weights really quickly, going up in 10s then 5s. Got to 65kg and it was really comfortable, Coach says "get some more on that Angela, that looks way too comfortable!" I put another 5kg on and go down for 70kg, 1st rep- no problem, 2nd rep... I don't know if it was over-confidence going down too quick or the fact that I was concentrating more on my breathing than on my posture but I got stuck , really stuck. Having not been in that much difficulty before with a squat I panicked and instead of ditching I was fighting it. I must have been trying to use my back because my posture went and the weight took me forwards, I could do nothing except go down with it and try get out of the way. I landed on my knees with my head under the bar. It hurt but I imagine it could have been a lot worse. I was basically okay but a bit upset and massively embaressed as everyone was watching! Everyone was lovely though and just concerned for me. ..Off home to have a good cry on Parsley and I'm on the mend. ..shit happens.
P.M. WOLFPACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
