Fresh tattoo work is going to prevent snatches today.  Was planning on burpees instead, but swollen, burning, painful arm prevented it.

Tuesday, June 25
Burpees!
15:15x10 - Didn't count the reps most sets, but I think sets of 3 would be a good starting point.  I can squeeze 4 or 5 in, but not for an extended session.

Wednesday, June 27
Burpees!  (inked arm still burning/swollen/peeling - snatches would abuse, and running would rub scab off)
15:15x3x20

Distracted.  Got some sleeve work done yesterday, so today my arm is burning and swollen; tensing and bending the elbow is painful, and I'm leery of touching the doorframe with my elbow.  No excuse to completely skip the workout though.

Happy anniversary!  Suzi and I went to Portland for the weekend - there was no working out.

OVERTRAINING.

By the end of week 23, I was totally exhausted.  The ambitious new cardio work (VWC 3xWk plus running ~4mi almost every day) and 2-a-day strength training sessions destroyed me.  So, I took all of week 24 off. It didn't even feel like too much rest time.  Man I was wrecked.  And now I'm revamping the regimen:

M - VWC

T - Run

W - Off

T - Run

F - VWC

S - Run

S - Off

An extra day off, less VWC (but still enough to be effective!), and no more running to work on VWC days (unless I'm feeling great and motivated) should keep the overtraining away.

OVERTRAINING.  This 'week' I fell to overtraining.  I was exhausted.  So, I took an entire week off, and am reformatting my regimen:  1-2 warmup sets (not a fan of warmup, but let's try something new) followed by 3 work sets.  After work training is being replaced by 10-15 minutes of stretching because stretching is an area that has been sorely neglected.  Adding an extra off day every week, so my workout week will be 8 days instead of 7.

Snatch!
15:15x6x20 - Per usual, broke off for left hand calluses.  They're much better, but I don't want to rush and tear them again.
