* Notes:

- Bruised and sore in my pubis region -- so regular snatches were out of the question.  Warming up with 20kg felt like hell and drew tears, so I decided on doing some snatch balances -- bad idea.  I hate them because they don't feel natural.  The tragectory of the bar is completely different than a regular snatch.  So, I scrubbed the idea and moved on to clean grip block snatches.  These were terrible but bar contact was much lower; thereby, allowing me to snatch.  Ideally, I wanted to get up to 100kg but it just wasn't happening.  I believe I spent too much time messing around with the snatch balances.  Nevertheless, I had a pretty good workout.
