Snatches were alright today, for some reason my set up was off, I felt like I was doing something different every time. Speed under the bar was good but I went forward on a few reps. I only failed one rep at 145 because my set up was sloppy and I didn't get tight enough. I just need to lift with PATIENCE. I'm glad Chelsea is coming this week so I can get in some oly tech work with her. I think next time I'm going to try snatching without my knee sleeves and see if that makes a difference in my balance and stability at the bottom. Split squats were really tough today, didn't have a lot of energy for those. Bench press was.....mehhhh. I haven't benched in awhile so I wasn't sure how it would go. I hit 115 on the third set, I'm not sure if I've ever done that for 8 reps. Did the 100# things for the farmers walk, I'm glad Heather pushed me to go heavier on that. This was our conversation:

me: What should I use for a tough 50 meter farmers walk?
Heather: 100 pounds
me: I meant for me, not you
Heather: 100 pounds
me: I feel like that's too heavy
Heather: Let me put it this way. 70 pound kettlebell is too light. Dumbbells are too awkward and hard to carry. So you're left with 100 pounds. 
me: FINE! I'LL DO 100 POUNDS, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?
Heather: yes

It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I had only used 100 pounds once before but this time it was much easier. Airdyne sprints actually went pretty well. I felt consistent through each one. They were still very terrible and long and I felt like my legs were on fire but my aerobic recovery is getting better between sets.
