A. Snatch balance - build to heavy single
B. High Hang Squat Snatch from blocks - build to 1RM
C. Front Squat @ 13X1; build slowly to 150 for a single
D. Snatch Deadlift @ 32X1; 3x3 @145#

Notes:
A. 55, 65, 75, 85# Failed 95# five times and never stuck it.
I was mentally defeated before I started these. These have become unbelievably frustrating. I can pop the bar up and then squat, but doing both movements at the same time just isn't happening. It's a horible way to start a workout. 
B. 55, 65, 75, 85, 95#
These went pretty well. I was happy with 95. I tried for 100, but couldn't get it. 
C. 65, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 140, 145, 150#
I really tried to focus on staying down for a full 3. I was excited that I got 150 considering I couldn't get it last week. It wasn't pretty, but I got it. 
D. These were ok. 


The classes were working on 1RM power clean. My pulls from blocks felt really good this weekend, so I was curious if I could get 150 on my clean. Between sets I jumped on a bar that was set up at 150, and sure enough I got it! And just for good measure I split jerked it up. Woo hoo for PRs!
