A not-recently-trained 165 x3 power snatch with your shoulder status is pretty danged good.
Get the urge to do them every now and again. The weight isn’t really that hard. I can’t get my head under the bar when it’s at arm length so I keep getting off balance and not being able to drop the weights it kind of swings outward.
Had to go into town so hit the natatorium. 45 min swim/2 mile run. I love bureacrats, First one to the natatorium when it open for “open lap time”. Get my 45 minute block, do my 45 minute swim, one other person in the pool. Get through want to go so more. Go up to the window to get another block. “Can’t”. “Why, only one other lanes being used?” “On Fridays only one block per customer.” “Are there reservation for the next blocks”? “No”. Good thing he doesn’t speak French. Checked the river this afternoon. Been raining the last 2 days so running a little high and fast but not too cold. 80f/26.5c temps coming so back in real water soon.

Forgive my absence lately. Lot’s of great work going on. Some great Olympic lifting going on and I like the box jumps. (I can’t do those anymore because of my foot but boy to I miss them…) Sorry about the swim nazi the other day. Pathetic… Sorry to hear about the fallen officer as well. Keep up the great work!

Spend most of the rest of the day repairing my elderly neighbors deck.Bunch of board had rotted through.
Of interest. Guess I can just plug in instead of drinking my Jamesons now. Cousin Mike let someone put this up at the gym. Guess I’m behind cause I got no idea what it’s bout.
Haven’t swam there in a long time but this just on a news feed.Favorite spot to party when we were in High School.
At least I’m not the only one!![]()
Isn’t this what they do to cure hangovers these days?
As for the alligator… one of your brothers must have a place to process alligator meat.
It can be for that, but it is also a great way to get water, salts and other vitamins into the system.

6 Power Position
15 full throws

It’s a state park now so can’t kill them. Besides, don’t care what any one says, gator tastes like crap. (Suppose to go to the Chicken)
I looked it up. They’ve got IV Cocktails and you can add all kinds of minerals, vitamins, etc in. Not cheap.
