210xF, missed forward. Stopped there after 3 total misses.

I know my plan from last week was clean, but I wanted to snatch, so I snatched. Many "coaches" would probably say I need to stick to the plan, but I was feeling the need to go heavy and progress from power to full after working light full snatches the last 2 weeks. Happy with getting 210(95kg). The 210 was heavy coming out of the hole.

I started reading Tim Ferris 4 hour body. I like it a lot, but like every other self-help book I have ever read the big aspects I already knew, maybe even do. First thing, minimal effective dose of exercise to get results. I will talk anyone ear off about the difference between therapuetic and lethal dose for medication, I have always extended that to exercise. The second is to always measure. I like that. Every workout have a goal set. Today the goal was snatch heavy and go for 210.

Pat,

I responded to your first question two posts back. I'll wait to respond your second post after you read that (assuming you haven't) and respond.

Good stuff.

Ben

p.s also bought 4-hour body and it is great! Fun read.

Great lift, Pat! You're closing in on the 100K snatch and achieving your goal.

You gotta get some video up so I can see the lifts. You're getting into some strong, strong weights!
