Snatching was better than it has been in weeks. Last week I worked up to 105 for a double, this week I was able to hit 120 for a triple. I was trying not to over-think everything so much and focused on getting tight before my pull. I actually think I could have hit 125, the weight never felt heavy, I stopped because it was getting tiring returning it to the hang every time. I think if I would have started heavier I would have been able to get 125. I'll remember that for next time. Really happy with this. 

Bench press was good, I hit 140 for a double which is 5 pounds below my max. The second rep was a bit of a struggle but not too bad, I think I could definitely get 145 for a single and hopefully 150 soon. 

I think I was a little too enthusiastic on the farmers walk this week. Last week I did 130#/side and it really wasn't that bad so I jumped to 140#/side. Errrrr, it was pretty tough. Carrying it isn't the hard part, it's picking it up off the ground. I did 140 for the first set but as I was setting down the things (I still don't know what they are called) I felt something tweak in the right side of my neck. It wasn't anything major and it went away after a few minutes but it was enough to make me take some weight off. I went down to 125. Definitely not going to mess with anything right before a competition.
