Today was a rough session. I've been extremely stressed and exhausted in my personal/work life... have had to pull ridiculous travel and hours and it is catching up with me. Further I have to work the next 3 weekends in a row, so that is taking a big mental toll on my happiness. Tried to push through and train, but it was a huge struggle. I missed one lift (the jerk at 97%)... clean went up easy, but I just fucked it up and it didn't get it for whatever reason. I was really bummed about that. Otherwise, session was worthwhile.

A.

Snatch

1 set x 1 rep @ 97% (242#) 

97% of your one rep max snatch. Sets leading up to working sets should be as follows... 1x3@30%, 1x3@40%, 1x3@50%(135#), 1x3@60%(155#), 1x2@70%(175#), 1x2@80%(205#), 2x1@90% (225#), 2x1@95% (238#). This will ensure you are warm enough for your working weight!

-Complete, no missed reps, felt strong. 

B.

Clean and Jerk

1 set x 1 rep @ 97% (305#)

97% of your one rep max clean and jerk. Sets leading up to working sets should be as follows... 1x3@30%(135#), 1x3@40%(145#), 1x3@50%(155#), 1x3@60%(185#), 1x2@70%(225#), 1x2@80%(255#), 2x1@90% (283#), 2x1@95% (300#). This will ensure you are warm enough for your working weight!

-Missed the jerk at 305#... was a stupid miss, should have had it.
