* Notes:

- I wasn't planning on working out today, but considering I overindulged last night with pizza and ice cream birthday cake, I had to workout.  Initially, I thought to myself, "this is going to be a complete shit-storm again," because I was missing early in the workout -- 95kg!  WTFO?  Not sure what was going on aside from me being slower than molasses under the bar.  This lack of speed resulted in a string of misses at 103kg and 108kg, plus four misses at 124kg!  However, I did managed to gather myself and quickly adjust fire and successfully nail a 126kg snatch!  This is a new PR from the blocks by 6kg!  I made a very lukewarm attempt at 128kg but decided to be conservative and finish out the remainder of the workout without any further attempts.

-  The 18 inch block power snatches weren't all to difficult, so I made a decision to add 3kg per set.  Ultimately, resulting in a triple at 109kg.  Not a bad day on the platform.  A new PR along with a good sweat -- can't beat it!
