Forgot to post yesterday:

Singles: 134/138/142/146/150/155/157/159
Pleased with jerking 159 (6# under my max) but I took a video because it didn’t feel great, and it looks just as bad as it felt.

Session two
Openers/delt warmup/Tino snatch protocol to drill fundamentals
Snatch work
45
95
95/105/115/125 or something idk
145/155/165
170/180/190
195/205/215
215/220/225
230/235/245
No misses. Caught a couple on my heels but felt slow and controlled for the most part.

Had enough time to pick row/burpee/deadlift or bike/c2b/wb/hspu…opted to go with my weaknesses

Went aggressive on first set (1300+ on rower, cadence burpees) and then maintained those efforts while trying to increase my deadlift totals

Row: 20/20/20
Burpee: 20/20/20
Deadlifts: 9/11/15

90 mins total
