Tonight was 30kg for a 10 minute set (5min each hand). I usually will not train snatch in back-to-back days. However, my training partner and I could not coordinate for tomorrow so I decided to do an extra day today so that he and I can get back to it together on Saturday and tomorrow I’ll train but not snatch. My drop is not as smooth as I’d like it to be. My hands are extra dry from a combination of all the recent flying and mostly because the kettlebell I was using while teaching in Taiwan had a really poor quality handle and also we used liquid chalk over there, which I find dries my hands more than my preferred powdered chalk. Nevertheless, the mind is the commander and the body obeys and the mind said to do a 10-minute set, so the body followed despite the discomfort in the hands.
