I was still feeling wrecked and hamstrings have been feeling strangely tight. A good friend is moving to S. Carolina and he had a leaving party last night and I was feeling a little under the weather from this today. I knew this max out session was always going to be a challenge. Snatches were sluggish and I need to look at the clips but felt like I could get a better pop in second pull, finish more and I was definitely having trouble moving feet out. Anything below triple figures for snatch on a max night is a failure for me so I got rather stubborn and kept banging away until I got the 100. The 104 was overhead but sitting out front.

Clean and jerks, the 125 clean was even a struggle. The back right hand side of my right knee has been giving me a nipping feeling now in last two sessions during cleans. I was just spent and knew going through multiple attempts was going to be like flogging a dead horse.

It has been a good few weeks now since I have hit reasonable weights and I have been having a few technical issues with snatch and the jerk. I suppose it is just a period where I need to keep banging away but last few days have been hard wrt motivation.

Glad tomorrow is a rest day
