Today felt like every rep was 95%...or heavier.  Definitely a day that took some grit to get through.  I missed all three attempts at 90% on my front squats, as well as my last rep at 80%.  I can maybe understand missing my 90%, but no way should I have missed 80%, even if it were my last rep.

On the hang snatch, I missed 4 out of my 12 reps @ 80%, but hit both reps at 85%.  My focus today was a drive of the legs and a fast and aggressive pull under the bar.  At times, I tend to float and not get under the bar fast enough.  I'm now getting a feel when I don't do it properly, which is good.

The hang cleans felt so damn heavy.  I missed 2 out of my 9 attempts, and my jerks weren't solid.  Didn't have enough leg drive to stick every one.

I was definitely glad to get done with today's training session.  Frustrating and difficult.  A deadly combination, but a good one to go through as a gut check.  I need to come into tomorrow's training focused and prepared for another fight!

The calm before the storm!
