* Notes:

- Awesome day on the platform, even though I had several misses in the snatch.  Regardless, it was great to hang out with the guys and throw some kilos around.  I felt exceptionally fast at the early stages of the snatch.  The pull under after hitting "pockets" was lightning fast.  All my misses are a result of not finishing the pull and prematurely trying to drive myself under the bar.  I'm still making attempts north of 125-130kg, which is motivating.

- Clean and power jerks were horrendous and I felt tired from the onset.  All the reps went well until I reached 140kg.  I just didn't have enough muster left in the lifts.  This problem is a reoccurring issue that needs and will be addressed in the next 4 week cycle.  Nevertheless, finishing at 130kg is promising, but frustrating as well.  Promising because the 130kg was successfully made, but frustrating due to it being the same weight attempted in the snatch.  I'm going to fix this discrepancy.  Furthermore, coming out of the hole from the cleans were a bitch!  I think a lot has to do with the week of vacationing has finally caught up with me.

- Take a look at the short video clip below of my 132kg snatch attempt.  It's getting awfully close.
