Olympic lifting log for Thursday, February 25th

Slept in. Missed Crossfit. Went to the Y for some work.  They did power snatch and burpees with kettle bell swings. So I worked on snatch. Screw the burpees.

Started with power snatch, doubles, at 65# for a few sets, 95# for 2 sets and 115# for two sets.  Felt good.

The pull was strong, no pain in my lower back at all.

Moved on to snatch balance.  Had trouble balancing in the bottom at first.  But it worked out as I worked up to 135#.

Finally moved on to snatch. Did a couple of really solid reps at 95# and 115#.  Caught them right in the slot.  It really feels effortless when you catch it right.

Bumped it up to 135# and caught one ugly one and one really nice one. So I decide to try 145#.

First attempt my knee hit the ground. So I didn't even bother standing it up.

Tried again and bam! Caught it a touch forward, but I was locked out and no knee touch! Stood it up legit 145#.  Now I can claim my PR at 145# for realz!

Tried 150# twice, and just couldn't get under it.  Same deal as 145#, knee on ground on the first and caught forward on second but couldn't recover this time.

I was starting to tire as well.  Soon.
