* Notes:

- I looks like anything above 130kg has become thoroughly ingrained as my mental nemesis.  In the first segement I was able to clean the weight -- with a LOT of effort -- but couldn't capitalize on the jerk.  The clean was a hard fight.  I struggled to get under the weight quickly and found myself drifting forward in the catch -- to be honest, it was freaking ugly.  That took a lot out of me and the weight felt heavier on my shoulders; thereby, making the jerk much harder.  Shit!

- The second attempt at 132kg was a complete bust!  I couldn't even clean the weight which was a blow to my morale.  Afterwards, my confidence was spent!  Shit 2!

- Clean pulls weren't as fluid as I'd like.  Coming out from the failed attempts in the clean and jerk, I felt loose with the pulls.  I just wanted to push through the workout and finish -- I was disgusted and defeated.  Shit 3!

- The stop squats were murderous today.  The jump from 115kg to 132kg seemed like a 50kg jump instead of 17kg.  I should have added an additional work set at 124kg to better taper the increase in weight.

- In retrospect, today was -- in my book -- a gigantic shit sandwich; even though, I did manage to make  85% of the clean and jerks but none at the top weight of 132kg!  I hope today isn't indicative of the performance to come in the final days of this program.
