* Notes:

- Today's workout was a complete let-down.  I was hoping for big numbers in the snatch but could only manage to successfully snatch 2kg under my current PR.  Piss!  I had several attempts at 133kg and a couple at 135kg, but none were successful.  There were two at 133kg which were extremely close but ultimately resulted in a miss.  I'm very disappointed in myself but considering the last two weeks have been hampered with both a back injury and a newborn -- I'll take 128kg and be happy.

- After the frustrating snatch attempts, I pushed on to the snatch extensions, which oddly called for 148kg.  I did the prescribed reps and weights; however, after closer review, I think the snatch extensions should have been done with 135kg vice 148kg.  I believe this was an administrative error in the program, because I don't see the sense in doing extensions with 110% of my projected PR.  Nevertheless, the pulls (weight) was insanely heavy.  Nearly shit my pants trying to pull a triple in the second set, so I decided to reduce it to three singles for the last set.

- Upon finishing the extensions, I figured I'd give 135kg one last attempt -- I would have been better off dropping a 25kg bumper on my foot, because that attempt was completely futile.  Piss!
