Ran out of time and couldn't make it to LAF today as planned. Maybe if I was an early riser I could have made it happen, but truthfully, I am okay with another rest day. Five days in a row last week was fine, but not really optimal. My performance was not great on Friday and I was pretty stiff and sore on Saturday. It seems like forcing myself to take rest days has worked out the best in terms of results and how I feel on the weekends. I have to remember that I'm in this for the long haul. Missing one day during the week is not the end of the world.

Goal for this week is to do a heavy snatch workout tomorrow and then a high rep snatch workout later in the week, Thursday or Friday. Unfortunately, I see that when I did Power Snatches and Power Cleans on 5/14, I didn't record the loads. The Power Cleans I believe were #135 or #145. The snatches, if I remember correctly, I handled #115 quite easily but struggled on #125. Since the goal is strength, I should try to do #125 this time for multiple reps, probably 5 X 3, and then make a couple of attempts at #135. Before attempting Isabel, I need to have my Power Snatch up to at least #165, which I think I can do by late June.
