Olympic Lifting log for Thursday, April 23rd

Well that was a fight.

I somehow managed to snatch 145#, a new split snatch PR.  Last PR was back in november.

My back knee made contact with the floor, and there was almost certainly at least some press out, so likely not Olympic-Weightlifting-good. 

But definitely Crossfit-good.

Did a few sets at 95#, then 115# and 125#.  Struggled at 135#, but landed it.  Decided to go big and put 145#.

First attempt I didn't commit to getting under the bar.  Second attempt, I caught it but off balance and couldn't stand it up.  Decided to give it one final try.

Caught it.  Balanced, partially thanks to my knee on the ground. Stood it up. Done.

That was it.  Called it a day and hit the steam room.
