Incredible
I can finally return to Olympic weightlifting. Thank you, Majilis Sukan Negara Malaysia for letting me train back there, although I’m not in the team. Absolutely delighted about it.
Yesterday’s training was just so I could get back into the groove again. All I did was some simple power snatches. It felt really awkward because I couldn’t get the explosion at the right moment, but I somehow managed to produce enough power this time to easily snatch the 55KG. previously I was struggling with 45KG’s only.
Then when my new coach asked me to do some squat snatches, I fell to the front and then to the back. He asked me to pull more gently instead of with the same speed and I dropped into a squat snatch, pretty easily. Moved to 60KG and accidentally power snatched it again with a SLIGHT pressout. Reminded myself to squat snatch this time and did 60KG’s very nicely for a few sets of singles.
Moved to CNJ’s and did a simple 70KG power clean and jerk (3x) Then to 90KG, same thing power clean and jerk twice. Then I felt a little adventurous and moved to 100KG x 1, 105Kg x 1, 110KG x 1 and finally a nice 115KGx1 with a shaky jerk but that’s okay.
Moved to some high bar squats and did 70KG x 5, 90KG x 5, 120KG x 2 x 5, 140KG x 6 and 150KG x 2 x 1
Nice workout. Nice getting back to oly. I’m doing squat snatches much better now and my squats feel stronger than ever. Nice.

Of course not, it’s in India. I’ve no way of getting there, and I’m more interested in bettering myself before joining any competitions in other countries at the moment.
