20 minutes to establish a 1RM Snatch.

61kg/135lb
70/155 x
75/165 x x x
80/175
84/185
86/190 x x

\\ So yeah, I hit 61kg, then missed my next 4 attempts cause I'm an idiot, but decided to go up anyways and try to stop lifting like a retard. Hit 80 and 84 no problem, both felt better than my 75 attempts. Satisfied with the PR tie (84) considering the start I had. Missed 86 twice cause I jumped too early and lost the bar in front. I'm going to assume next Weds will be another 1RM Snatch and Clean & Jerk day since the last 6-8 weeks have been. If I don't hit 89kg/195lb on Weds I'm going to Snatch every day for the remainder of the year (Dec 27th-31st) until I do.

20 minutes to establish a 1RM Clean & Jerk.

84kg/185lb
93/205
98/214
105/230
111/245 x

\\ Tweaking some stuff on my clean to keep my chest over the bar for longer/getting the bar higher on my thighs before jumping. Feels really good at lower weights, but I revert to bouncing the bar off my mid thighs when the weight gets heavier. Missed the clean at 111, wasn't nearly aggressive enough on the second pull and the bar also bounced forward a hair off my thighs, wrists were feeling tender after the miss so I called it there.

\\ 9:35 - All movements unbroken but 33 seconds slower than the last time I did this in August, Not exactly sure why, could be a number of factors: I wasn't chasing someone this time who was a few seconds faster than me, it's cold outside now and it wasn't in August, I weigh 5-10lb more now than I did in August. Who knows, not gonna lose any sleep over it. I imagine I'll be doing more metcons in the next two months before the Open begins on March 6th.
