Clean and Weaknesses

Training:
Build to 1RM in clean and jerk
-  missed 230,235, said F it and hit 240#.  Knew it wasn't strength but speed.  Got aggressive and nailed it.
+
Weak in catching the snatch so worked on strengthening that position
1 snatch push press + 2 snatch balance + 3 OHS (1.2.3x3 sets)
@ 135x2, 145#.  Didn't want to go too heavy so focused on the technique.  Felt good and solid.
+
Death by C&J @ 95# ( that's what the gym standard was and wanted to do it with the group)
hit 11 minutes and called it.  Shoulder was feelin' odd so just shut it down.  Felt good to sweat and get HR up.

Enlightening day today.
What I learned today:
-  A great teacher can change your life
-  Get out of your own way and believe in yourself
-  Go after your weaknesses but learn when to hire someone else to do them
-  Attempt things you don't think you can do...if you don't know what to do or how, you'll find out the solution
-  Hard work doesn't go unnoticed - regardless of what you think


"There is joy in work.   There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something."
