Monday - Snatches, Clean and Jerks

I hadn't tried maxing the snatch in a while, and I was so close to the PR clean and jerk last week that I wanted to go for it. Didn't get the 95 snatch but it was some close misses, and then got 127.5 for a 2.5 KG pr, then an attempt at 130 with a missed jerk. I'll get that soon though!

Snatch:
-40 x 3
-50 x 3
-60 x 3
-70 x 2
-80 x 1
-85 x 1
-90 x 1
-95 x miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss (CLOSE THOUGH!)

Clean and Jerk:
-60 x 1
-90 x 2
-100 x 1, 1
-110 x 1
-120 x miss jerk, 1
-60 x 3
-125 x miss jerk
-60 x 3
-125 x miss jerk
-127.5 x miss jerk, 1 (PR!)
-60 x 3
-130 x miss jerk

Notes:
-getting close with the snatches there, I know I'll get there soon. Working on the start position and the constant back angle, and finishing the pull. Lots to work on.
-I jerked yesterday, and the jerks just were feeling weak. I was missing the 125s and I figured lets up the stakes, no point getting 125 if I can clean 127.5 just the same and the jerk is still hard, wanted to get that PR. 130 is on the way.
-It was helpful to do some light jerks in between the heavy reps to make sure I knew what a good rep should feel like. Muscle cleaned it.
