Power snatches went pretty well today, these are feeling more crisp every week. Everything was solid up until 145. I caught the first rep really weird, my arms were bent and wobbly and I wasn't aggressive on the turnover at all. I failed the second rep, the bar flew up but it was way out in front. I tried again and made the lift but the bar was still out in front, I took a few steps forward to save it. 

Snatch grip deadliftt was fine. 

DB bench press was easy on the first two sets but I was only able to get 4 reps at 50. It was feeling good until it wasn't, I paused in the bottom and all the momentum was gone, I just couldn't push them up at all.  

The 6 sets for even times just went so terribly. Deficit handstand push ups started off strong but then my shoulders completely went to shit by the 5th set. I felt like I couldn't even use my arms anymore, I was having trouble just lowering myself into the deficit for the kipping handstand push ups. It felt terrible. I don't think I warmed up my shoulders enough for this. I failed my second strict handstand push up on the 5th and 6th set. This was extremely frustrating. I think I'm going to have to go see Balza soon, I was feeling discomfort in my left shoulder during the HSPU. I thought it went away after regionals but it's starting to flare up again.
