Training Week 3, Day 2

Clean + Jerk - Heavy Single (50kg) New PR!
Overhead squat - 80% 3 sets of 2 (30kg)
Front squat - 80% 5 sets of 3 (40kg)
Clean pull - 105% 2 sets of 3 (55kg)

Body Weight - 141 lb

I like C+J days 1000x better than snatch days.  The lift just feels natural to me.  Or at least the clean does.  My jerk is still pretty wobbly.  But both movements feel like something my body is made to do.  The snatch on the other hand feels unnatural and awkward.  I hope that will change soon.

One thing I learned today:  Weightlifting at 8:15am is difficult, but much easier if you wake up more than 30 minutes before you lift.  I've been rolling out of bed at 7:45 and dragging myself to the gym up to now.  This morning I got up at 6:15 and felt much more energized during the session.
