Training today consisted of working up to 70% for both Snatch and Clean/Jerk.
Snatch: Based off 130k Best

Warmed up to 70% - 90k
3 Sets of Waves
75%x1 (92k)
80%x1 (105k)
85%x1(110k)
First wave went perfect hit all three reps perfectly. Solid in the hole, paused in the catch, stabilized the bar, and then Blew the squat up.
Second and Third wave felt like a hurricane came in and blew all of my technique away. I felt as if I could not hit a snatch if my life depended on it. I had a hard time getting set, holding my positions, and my bar felt like it was the third loop on ninja at six flags theme park. But i had Clea and jerk to look forward too!

Clean and Jerk had the same wave format. Unfortunately worked called and I was only able to get through two waves.The only issue was i had to rush through my clean and jerk sets.
2 Sets: Based off 165 Clean

75%x1 (125k)
80%x1 (132k)
85%x1(140k)

I felt as if i were a ballet dancer catching my cleans on my toes. I am stretching that but I did have a hard time getting into a good catch position. Squatting the weight was not an issue and the jerks felt as if i was being stabbed in the teres major with a crocodile dundee knife. I put the pause back into my jerks since I have had a small issue with rushing the jerk. The good news is i did not miss any of my attempts today in C&J, the only issue I have is that they felt rushed technique wise. If I could rate my training session today out of 10 (being Amazing/PR) I would say it would fall in the 2-3 range.

Tomorrow is a new day and new training session! PR's are on the way, it is only week 1/day 1 of a 5 week cycle. Iron game continues.
