My first workout back from the long layoff was stupid, unnecessarily difficult, and a little bizarre...
Monday PM 6/10/2012
Broomstick snatch (I have no idea how to snatch) x alot
Power Snatch 95lbs. x 3, 115 x 3, 135 x 3 (ugly and gosh awful)
Front Squat 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 205 x 5
Barbell overhead press 135 x 5 x 3
Obliques with a 35kg Kettlebell x 10 x 3
In that short light workout I was able to pull some random muscle under my left butt cheek, get more discouraged about my current level of strength than ever before and sweat and breath hard like I was doing interval hill sprints...
Glaring weaknesses in order
1. Front Squatting or any Quadracep dominant movement (ie. I can't use my lower back)
2. Abdominal/ Midsection strength
3. Mobility of all joints, most especially the hips
4. All of the Quick Lifts (c+j, snatch, power clean)
5. Arm strength (biceps particularly)
So there is my top 5 - But at least I was back in the gym.... It's a start...
