* Notes:

- Frustrating day on the platform.  The snatch pull + snatch complex was going fairly well, until I reached the prescribed 115kg.  The triple pulls definitely tapped into my energy reserves and I felt exceptionally slow under the bar -- hence the misses.  I decided to regress back to 110kg, which worked like a charm, but climbing back up to 115kg resulted in another miss.  Frustrated with my performance, I decided to push further focusing on just the snatch, which again proved fruitless.  Misses were abound and my level of concentration and enthusiasm dwindled with each successive attempt past 125kg.  By the time I reached the clean complex, I was tired and ready to call it a day.  Not the best day on the platform but it definitely showed me that there is plenty of room for more growth.  The first missed snatch attempt at 132.5kg was ridiculously high and I lost the lift behind -- indicative of sufficient pull and new PRs to come.
