So today was cool but for some reason mentally I felt like I wasn't focused. The snatch max went well, I wasn't sure how it would go since I haven't really snatched from the ground for a few weeks. I gave myself 20:00 to build up to the max (Stephen would be proud) and I hit 155 in about 15:00. I was pretty excited about that, 155 is the most I have snatched from the ground. I hit 160 last week but that was from the blocks. Before today, 145 was the most I had pulled from the ground so I was pretty happy, and I got it on the first try! I had a few minutes left so I went for 160, I failed it three times. Blah. The first and third attempt were pretty close but I called it, I was getting tired and didn't want to go too far past the time limit. I think it will happen next time though. I was excited about the 155 but also sort of disappointed, I really wanted to hit 160. And then I was wondering WHY I was so disappointed because my snatches have come a long way and it's pretty cool that I can hit 155 on one try. But I couldn't shake the feeling of being annoyed that didn't get more. I also hit a PR on my bench, 5 pounds. That was cool. Knees to elbow felt super easy. I was just sort of out it today and it felt like my head was not really in my training.
