I've been dreading today's workout for a long while. I had a shoulder reconstruction in September 2009 and had it repeated in December 2009.

The snatch is probably the worst performed exercise across all exercise and I am probably the worst at it. Apart from being bad at it at the best of times the fear associated with the shoulder recovery was an additional factor.

After a thorough warm up which included muscle ups, handstand pushups and cleans it was time to attempt the dreaded snatch. Started of really light and progressed through to 60kg. Started to get ugly at 55kg. Overall very happy with the workout and have now built a little more confidence under the bar!

Will be great today if we see some 80kg lifts!
