It was fucking hot today. I'm ready for fall. 

I feel like today had the possibility for many PRs but alas, I got none. 

Snatch pulls felt really good and they were getting pretty high.

Power snatches, on the other hand, were terrible today. I don't know what was going on. The pull was never heavy but I was being super slow and not aggressive at all in the turnover. I also caught 145 REALLY wide, which I hardly ever do on a power snatch. I failed the first attempt at 150, I caught it way out in front. I rested about :30 and hit it easily the second time. This was annoying.

Bench press was really easy all the way through 145. I hit 145 and thought I definitely had 155 in the bag. Nope. As soon as I took it off the rack it felt super heavy and I barely pushed it off my chest. 145 was so easy! Next time I'll try to jump to 152 or something, instead of going up ten pounds. 

The HSPU/KB piece was pretty good, although I still don't know if it was a dumb idea to try and do everything unbroken. Handstand push ups were unbroken every set, these were extremely easy. KB swings were unbroken for the first two sets, but I broke on the 15th rep on the last set because I legitimately thought I was going to vomit. It was so hot in the gym and I couldn't breathe. Breaking up the last set of KB is the reason why the third time is so much longer than the first two. Overall I thought this went well except for losing it a bit on the third set. 

Good training session but it was just impossible to breathe. I'm ready for summer to be over.
