Monday - Goodmorning, Snatch, Front Squat

Wasn't too tired from yesterday to lift again, and I've been keeping it low volume. I hurt my right wrist/hand on the snatches, so I didn't do cleans, and the front squats gave me a bit of trouble. I taped it, but that DID NOT help, in fact I think it made the pain worse because it forced a different range of motion. I don't think it injured it more or anything, just that taping the way I did it didn't help. My back, on the other hand, felt great. No issues, though I purposely front squatted instead of back squatted because its still feeling not perfect.

Goodmornings:
Just learning how to do these, got some tips. Keep the hips stationary (as best as possible), keep the knees at the same bend, and keep the back tight. Start light.
-40 x 5,5,5,5

Seated GM:
I need to stay away from these, my lower back is rounding a lot, I don't have the flexibility for it right now.
-40 x 4,6



----BREAK----

Came back later and did some more work. The stuff before was really just learning, not a workout. This was a full workout, though I cut it a bit short.

Snatch, Hang Snatch:
-40 x 2 (1 snatch, 1 hng sntch)
-50 x 2
-60 x 2
-70 x 1m,2 (this is when I hurt my wrist, I stopped here)

Front Squat:
-70 x 3
-90 x 3
-123 x 1
-135 x 1 (this was feeling pretty heavy and I felt it was sufficient for today)
-120 x 2,2,2 (90%x2x3)
