* Notes:

- Horrible day on the platform.  Apprehension and doubt dominated my brain today, resulting in one of the worst power clean performances in a long time.  Anything below 130kg is considered a warm-up weight, yet I couldn't push past that today.  Am I overtraining or just being a complete pussy?

* Notes:

- Horrible day on the platform.  For the life of me, I can't seem to shake off this spell of dizziness.  It's destroying my clean and jerks.  Once I reach around 120kg, it comes on so heavily that I find myself ditching the bar, or wanting to take a dirt-nap upon dropping the bar.  I'm frustrated as hell.

* Notes:

- Add 2kg from my last mid block power snatch session.  I should have had more, but I couldn't quite get the timing of my power snatches down correctly.  I was waiting too long in the extension instead of aggressively pulling myself under the bar.  Additionally, I noticed that my chest was starting to drop in the catch -- never a good predictor of a successful lift.  Nevertheless, 2kg is an increase.

* Notes:

- Dog tired with zero legs.  I having a very troublesome time locking out my shoulders/elbows in the catch and I felt like I had nothing for leg strength today.  I felt slow, soft and sluggish.  I think the added front/back squats are negatively affecting the classic lifts; however, it may be too early to tell.

* Notes:

- I can't believe that I haven't done a mid block power snatch since starting this particular program.  I reviewed all my video clips and couldn't find any instance of using the mid blocks for power snatches.  I wanted to use it as a guage to determine the amount of progress I have made, but since there isn't any, I suppose this 115kg power snatch will be the benchmark.

* Notes:

- I'm feeling very sluggish and lightheaded today; specifically, with the front squats.  I know that 140kg should have been a very easy front squat weight, but with a major case of the "dizzies" I couldn't keep my shit together.  The bar is so deep into my neck that it's cutting off blood circulation to my head, thereby, causing me to get lightheaded.  I've tried shifting my hands and the only cure to help mediate the "dizzies" was to aggressively shrug my shoulders internally to place the bar more on my shoulders vice collarbone and neck.  It worked, but felt extremely uncomfortable.  Fuck!

* Notes:

- Today wasn't a terrible day on the platform, but it could have been better.  I was going to try my best to perform squat jerks today, but as the weights progressively got heavier, I became more reluctant to drop down into a squat.  Further, I had a complete brain fart and didn't move my feet on my first attempt at 140kg, then followed it with a case of the dizzies on my second attempt.  Thankfully, the third and final attempt was successful.  I thought about going higher, but I felt like the recovery from the clean at 140kg wasn't as fast as I'd like, and decided that 140kg was my top weight for the day.

* Notes:

- Today was quite possibly one of the worst snatch training sessions that I've had in a very long time. Why, might you ask?  Because, I was an overly anxious and foolishly stubborn knob who was hellbent on snatching 130kg.  I was trying my very best to make a PR, which I'm capable of accomplishing; however, today wasn't the day and I continued to smash my head against the wall, so to say, and destroy a snatch workout that had a very promising beginning.  Instead, being a stubborn mule, I decided to throw all of my so-called "rules" to the current programming to the wind and try any and everything to make 130kg.  After the initial miss at 120kg, I should have dropped back to 100kg and waved back up, and I should have done this repeatedly but didn't.  Lesson learned.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.

* Notes:

- I did a very quick and short workout today, because I feel like "death warmed over" after visiting the dentist for a long overdue filling replacement.  As such, I decided to keep the weights relatively light by first nailing my daily minimum of 120kg, and then focusing on speed under the bar with a few drop sets at 94.5kg.  I'll get back to the heavier weights after I recover from having my jaw rearranged.

* Notes:

- I'm dog-shit tired, sore, and down-right exhausted but I still managed to add 2.5kg to my high block power snatch.  I ended the workout short, without any front squats or box jumps, but I'll try to make it up tomorrow.  For now, I just want to rest and recuperate.

* Notes:

- Today's workout -- major shit-fest!  Initially, I felt amazing.  The early sets felt so quick and easy, but one thing I didn't focus on was the turn over of my elbows and adjusting the depth of my reception, which showed when the weights got heavy.  Everything above 140kg was garbage!

-  Not a bad day on the platform, considering the fact that I had all intentions of taking a day off and I was feeling so slow and sluggish in the early parts of the workout; however, I somehow managed to get my shit together and make a 120kg from the high blocks.  Not bad at all.

* Notes:

- An extremely long workout but very productive with a power clean of 146kg. My power jerks are a complete abomination, and need some serious work and intervention.  Furthermore, my back squat was pure shit.  I need to get my legs stronger because at this point they are as weak as a 12 day olds.
