I am so happy with the progress I am making on squat snatches. They felt a little tougher than last week, I failed one at 115 but I got it the second time. I didn't have any more fails after that, and I was able to drop into a squat on all of them, 135 wasn't as low as a I would have liked but its a mental thing I have to get over. When the weight starts to get heavy then I want to start power snatching because for same reason the thought of dropping under the heavy bar freaks me out. I know that will go away the more I practice them. I was really happy to get a PR today! I never thought I would be able to snatch 135 when back in June I could barely squat snatch 115. Progress! The clean and jerks felt really good and light, the second clean and jerk was a little tougher than the first rep because once I got tired it became harder to get tight in the set up, but they all felt good. The wallball/airdyne thing sucked real bad as usual. I was able to do the first two sets of wall balls unbroken and it actually didn't feel terrible, but the third round I had to drop it after 21, then the fourth round I had to break it up into 10/10/10 and it felt really bad. I can tell I'm getting better at wall balls but they still make me really tired. Overall it was a great day!
