I am getting SO CLOSE to snatching 140. Today I worked up to 135 pretty easily, I didn't have any failed attempts and everything felt really good. I tried for 140 and the second time I tried, I literally had it over my head but I just couldn't hold on to it. Then I went for it about 3 more times but none of them were very close. I was very frustrated, I thought I had 140 and then I didn't, I was pretty mad. I know I will get it soon though. I am so happy with how quickly my snatch has improved over the last two months. The clean and jerks hurt a lot and felt heavy, I think because I snatched for at least an hour so my arms and shoulders were fried. The wall ball/airdyne was actually not as bad as last week, I was able to do the first rounds unbroken but had to break up the next 2 rounds, I just could not hang on to the ball anymore. I wasn't able to get any double unders in the last round because I broke up the wall balls so much so the 2:00 was already over by the time I got to my rope. The sled drag went WAY better than last week, for a number of reasons. I definitely felt like I had more energy since I had 4 hours before I did the sled drag, and Heather also did it with me so it was nice to have someone to push me, otherwise I would have stopped a lot more. Definitely a great day of training.
