TONS of energy for this one, going light last week helped a lot here. Really ripped stuff off the floor. PLUS on hanging power snatches I made a realization that I've been gripping the bar too narrow, I moved my pointer fingers outside of the bands on the bar and the movement felt much more natural. Going to do a ton of reps like that when I get back from vacation.
ALSO I know I've posted a bit over the last year about having really sore achille's tendons, etc. and that was part of the reason I started doing tibia exercises. I figured it was from my calves being too strong. I think they're actually just too tight because over the past year I've been working them directly for the two full-body sessions, and then sprinting 2+ times per week as well. Larger muscle groups like quads or hamstrings can probably handle that, but my calves have been chronically tight, which is probably stressing my achilles out. I did notice that this past winter (when sprinting volume goes down, I just realized) that my achilles were feeling better. I think during the spring/summer I'm not going to do direct calf work and see how that goes.
