I didn’t even remember turning my alarms off.  Although I had every intention on getting up and doing something active, it just wasn’t meant to be I guess.  When I did finally wake up I felt like I had been hit by a truck.  Everything was so sore and I didn’t feel recovered at all.  Going to start adding in about 20g more carbs and 5g more fats next week and see how that goes.

  • Snatch to HS: 2×115, 2×135, 2×155, 2×165, 175, 185, 195, 205x, 210, 217x
  • CJ to HS: 155, 185, 225, 250, 275, 295, 315x, 315x

One of the best snatch days in recent memory.  Everything felt really good and even though I was taking longer than normal to work to the HS, I didn’t mind because it felt good, so I was just riding that wave.  While I missed the attempt at 217, loading the bar with a PR on the snatch was a victory in itself.  For the CJ, I got buried in the first clean which sit me back on my heels.  So I caved under it.  On the second attempt the clean was better, but the heat really got to me and I was so light headed before the jerk that I had nothing left to really give it a good attempt.  To work to 96-97% on both lifts felt really good though.
