Snatches felt pretty good, even though I missed my 2 reps @ 85%.  My first rep was on point, no real technical errors, just wasn't ready for the catch.  The positive thing with this miss is that I didn't jump back, and as a result the bar was finally in the right spot.  Because of that I wasn't used to receiving it in that perfect position. I'll call it a beautiful miss. HA!

This is just a lesson on being ready in the receiving position EVERY single rep, no matter what.  The second rep, I tried to overcompensate and ended up jumping back too much.  I was just over thinking it.  Don't think, just do!

Front squats today were a lot more difficult today after doing 4x3 at 85% yesterday.  Really had to battle through these sets, especially the last rep in each set.
