23 January 2010 - careful comeback

First session after back injury, oviously trying to be very careful. Hence the children's weight.

12 kg snatch:
10 minute set, one arm switch
88 left/100 right

12 kg feels very easy - of course. Surprisingly, even though I could continue with the left hand the grip was fairly fatigued and I wouldn't be able to last longer than another minute. Right was ok though. Heart rate was about 160 right at the end but plummeted within a minute to 120-130 range, so cardio wise this weight is no big deal either. It's good to train again though. When you are injured it seems at times that this is it, the pain is forever. I am glad to be wron in that feeling.

Good for you. I know the feeling well.

Ease back into it, you'll be back to where you were soon enough. I think this sort of thing actually heightens the importance of making each lift and move as near perfect as you can.

Taras, that's true, especially closer to the end of the set, when you get tired and more likely to break the form.
