Blehhhh. Snatches were off today. 125 was very easy and definitely not heavy but it went downhill after that. I got 1 rep at 135 but failed the 2nd rep, I fell forward on my toes. I tried again but the same thing happened. I decided to just go to 140 because there's no reason I should be failing reps at 135. I hit the first rep at 140 but as soon as I returned it to the hang I dropped it because my grip was fatigued by this point. This was very frustrating, especially because I hit 140 for a double a few weeks ago. I don't think I warmed up enough for this. The first rep never felt hard, I just kept landing on my toes for the second rep. That was frustrating. Just an off day. 

Front rack lunges are getting easier every week, 135 didn't feel hard. I should probably start heavier next week.

DB bench press wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, last time I did a DB bench cycle I really struggled. It was also cool doing bench with my feet and knees raised, that was different. Got 45 for 5 on the last set but the last rep was tough. Pendlay rows were fine, it's just hard for me to keep a good grip on the bar once the weight starts getting heavy. 

Airdyne sprints were tough but I was going all out, felt a little pukey after the fourth one. Besides the snatching fails, today was good.
