Thanks for the link Paul. Every little bit helps.

So, had an exhausting workout today with the local lifters. Lots of snatches at 27.5kg to work on technique. Apparently I have way too much tension in my upper body and getting me to relax my arms has proven almost impossible. However, there's hope because out of the gazillian snatches I did, 3 were just right. For the rest, I was able to complete the lift, but basically I was using too much arm and not dropping fast enough. Frustrating.

Then came C&Js and those were fine. No problems with my upper body relaxing on these, jerks were good too. I did a bunch at 35 kgs. Ripped three calluses open. My hands are a mess and I had to tape them in the end. Finished off the workout with some 50kg front squats.

There may be a meet next month. I need to confirm the date and make sure it meshes with my schedule...but if all goes well, I'm all in.
