Today was really frustrating. I was pretty mad at myself after the snatch portion because I basically wasted the technique practice to try and get a PR. I was basically working up to a heavy single instead of actually spending time working on technique, I was too preoccupied with trying to get to 165. I hit 155 really easily, went up to 160 and failed because I fell forward but the pull felt really light so I just decided to go for 165. I snatched it, stood up with it, I was trying to stabilize it and it just fell behind me. It was the weirdest thing. As I was standing up with it, there was a split second where I couldn't see, and then my arms felt very weak and I just couldn't stabilize it at the top so I dropped it behind me. Afterwards I felt sort of lethargic and out of it for the rest of my training session. I'm not sure what happened. I was angry at myself for not spending time on the things I SHOULD have been working on, like getting aggressive with my arm turnover at the bottom of the snatch, something I should have been doing with 135 and 145 and not going any higher. Instead, I had it in my head that I was going to snatch 165 that day and I failed because I ignored my technique work that I was supposed to be doing. Learned my lesson and will do better from now on.

The rest of the training session was alright. Ring push ups are definitely getting faster and easier. Ring rows weren't bad at all. Airdyne sprints were terrible as per usual, 65 seconds is a long time.
