Today was another long day, but this time I had Sam, Smuggles, Lev as a training partner.  It was a fun battle today between us because we were using the same weights and went after a couple PR's.  Having a training partner like this keeps long sessions like today fun and entertaining!

Snatches and cleans felt solid.  The purpose of doing pulls + snatches accomplishes a couple of things.  First, it's a way to get more volume without taking the CNS as much.  Second, the pulls prime the CNS and body for the snatch to come.

I ended up going for a PR attempt in the jerk, but missed twice.  Just don't have the pop I typically feel when jerking.  Sam, however, attempted a 6kg jerk pr.  A slight press out on the left arm, but solid attempt none the less!

Squats were solid, but felt pretty taxed afterwards.  Presses felt very strong, and after my fourth set, I ended up going for a PR.  I ended up getting a 2kg PR, hitting 70kg!  Missed at 71kg, hit my PR, then went back up to 73kg and missed.

Now it's time to eat food.
