Supposed to do the following

C&J: 122 single

Snatch: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 84, 88, 93X, 97, 102, 106X (see clip), 106X



C&J: 60, 84, 93, 100, 110, 120, 129, 136, 140X



Session went OK, although I walked into an empty gym, stereo was not working, thermometer was sitting at about 90F and it ended up being a mentally challenging session. It was one of those days when you question why you lift and fortunately I got a reasonable answer during training. I had a webcam conversation earlier in the day which had been playing on my mind so I decided to let it out on the bar and go for broke. I have no idea why I missed the 106, I think I can count on one hand number of times I have missed a snatch when already out of the hole. In a word, stupid. Cleans felt sharp and jerks were not as forward as usual. Was tired of fannying about with 134's so jumped from 129 to 136 and got it. 140 clean was OK but felt light headed so ended up dumping before jerk.

Its nights like tonight I am thankful of the developing 'blog network'. Reading other blogs and seeing lifters push on really helps and you soon realise you can train in a world of excuses or push on.
