* Notes:

- Not the best snatch workout but I'll chalk it up as a "successful day" on the platform, considering the fact that I'm lacking sleep, food, sleep, flexibility, sleep, focus, and more sleep.  Either way, it was a pretty intense workout.  It was fun to get back with the guys at Maximum Performance and get "all Chinese Channel" with the kilos.  Loads of fun!

- The block snatches were just "off" today.  Blame the lack of sleep, blame the lack of focus, blame the soft elbows and shoulder, blame all you want but it comes down to making the lift.  Today, those lifts weren't as fluid and crisp as I'd hoped.  Ideally, I wanted to get up into the 120kg territory and be comfortable with the weights but they weren't turning over very well.  Soft elbow and shoulders resulted in missed lifts; however, in retrospect, these missed attempts were nearly at and above 90% of my 1RM.  Can't complain when you look at it from that prospective!

- Power snatches were a breeze and I managed to successfully pop-out 110kg with relative ease, while talking a lot of shit with the guys.  They (power snatches) were suppose to be done from a block but I decided to pull from the floor because there were others waiting to use the blocks -- didn't want to hog the blocks and be an inconsiderate dick.  Either way, the power snatches were a cake walk!  Damn, I love weightlifting!
