* Notes:

- Very long and hot workout.  I should have called it quits after the front squats but decided to push on with the snatches.  I tried to incorporate some of the tips and cues that I learned at the Russian training seminar; however, they made my lifts feel awkward and unnatural.  I reverted to a more comfortable open hand position in the front squats and didn't suffer any dizziness, and with the snatches, I just tried to lift like I had been prior to the seminar.  The less I thought about the lift, the better I got.  I finished with 120kg, which isn't bad but I'm still struggling with a mental block with 120kg+.
