10-27, 10-28, 10-30

10-27
power snatch 80/1 x 5
P. Cl. + Pu J. 92/1 x 5
Various stretches, dynamic and static. I have taken a liking to hold the bar overhead and hopping back and forth in the bottom of a squat. I can do this with 135. Definitely loosens up the bottom position.

10-28
Snatch 92 - 1+miss, 97 - miss, 1, 102 - miss, 1, 107, 111 - miss, 111 - miss, 102, 105 - miss,
97 - (1,miss) (1,miss,1) (1,miss)

weird day... I felt strong but didn't make some lifts I should have. I tried 111 twice because I felt like I could've had it. It would've been a 1kg record.

Clean and Jerk 116, 120, 125 - miss, 125 - miss, 116, 116, 120, 125, 129 - miss,
110 - (1+miss), 1, 1

Front squat 125, 134, 142 - miss, 125/3, 129/3 x 2

Overall not a bad day. I didn't feel great but didn't feel bad either.

10-30
So today was supposed to be a max day, but a few things complicated that, so I lifted light and will move this workout to tomorrow. First of all, I had to get up for this workout at 6am, so that threw things off a little. Second, I feel really weird. A little light headed so I'm not at 100%. Finally, and most importantly, the weight room got a new set of weights. Ordinarily this would be good thing, but it's not. At all. These are Powerlift plates, which are 2 inches larger in diameter than standard Olympic plates (meaning the pull is one inch shorter). My timing on the lifts was definitely off since I'm not pulling as far. They are bumper plates at least. It totally messed me up, at least psychologically, so I scrapped the ME and just lifted light.

Power snatch 85/1 x 4
Pwr cl. + Pu. J. 102, 107, 107 - miss, 102, 102
Drop snatches 60/3 x 3 with a hop at the bottom position on the last rep of each.
