* Notes:

- Horrendous day on the platform.  Nothing seemed to click with the snatches.  I had four lifters in the garage and it was too many because it slowed the pace of the lifts.  My lifting tempo was clearly off.  I felt like I was constantly trying to stay warmed-up but with the added lifters and using only one barbell, I kept cooling down.  Furthermore, my typical lifting rhythm was off with the bottleneck of lifters and weight changes.  Nevertheless, I'm making attempts at 122.5kg to 132.5kg -- this is significant and clearly a step in the right direction.

- The clean and jerks went well considering the slow pace.  I should have lifted 142.5kg but lost the lifts due to fatigue and a terrible jerk.  2 plus hours of lifting is too long.  Due to the extended length of the "mock meet" there was no 10 minute break prior to starting the clean and jerks.  I must either limit the amount of lifters or run two bars at the next meeting.
