205xFx5-multiple failures all lost to the front, except the 5th one was lost behind.

I not hitting 90% of previous PRs. I believe this is due to cutting back the frequency of "practicing" heavy snatches. The less I do them, the harder they will be. However, I made the decision a week or so ago to back away from the lifts and squat, pull and do more GPP work. I have no meets in the immediate future and need to build a base of strength and mobility and technique. Now is the time to do this.

Looking back, I had a very good late winter. Meet total 220, finally hit 100kg snatch. I have to remember that followed from playing around with my "Wiry" Strong and 5/3/1, then focusing on the lifts hard for a few weeks before the meet.

I have said it before and I will say it again. To do the lifts heavy, you have to do the lifts heavy. You can not do heavy lifts and other stuff too. Now, I am choosing to do other stuff, build the base, develop technique and consistency, and lay the base for the next peak. A peak has to be surrounded by valleys, otherwise it is a plateau.
