* Notes:

- Above par workout in the training room for the 2012 American Open.  I was the only person in the training room and it was hotter than hell in there.  Sweat like crazy.  Although, it's nice having equipment to use prior to a meet, I wish they had squat racks to knock out from front and back squats.

- Split jerks went well.  I worked up to 120kg which felt fairly easy.  The short dip and drive is exceptionally strong and powerful.  The clean pulls were easy but the new start position is a little unusual, especially with arm position.  I need to focus on keeping my arms locked throughout the pull, as the new position has me deeper in the start, which makes my arms bend prematurely.

- Overall a great workout.  Plan on working with the snatch tomorrow.
