Thank you MindPOwer and L'ilJ (I've been reading your journal since you started--it's been great seeing your progress!)

September 10, Week 2, Day 2 @ 49.4 kg*
I didn't mention this before, but all my weights are in kilos.
snatch: 86ed
I did some warm up stuff with the broomstick and then with the bar and while it didn't hurt to snatch, it hurt every single time I released the bar from its highest position.
snatch pulls with 4 count stops (off the floor; below the knees; above the knees; full extension):
35x3x2
40x3x3
This was the first time I've done these. The straps I have are useless, they are way too big for my wrists. I have yet to find a place that sells straps and wraps small enough though.
Anyway. Apparently I was cheating most of my sets, they weren't hard until I got one of the other lifters to count for me.
jerks from the rack:
32.5x3
40x3
45x3
And then with 47.5. Was supposed to be 47.5x2x3. Got the first rep of both the first and last set, but dropped the second rep. Only the second set was good.
My max on jerks from the rack is 55 but my jerk terchnique is very inconsistent. The dip is hard to figure out.
front squats:
32.5x3
40x3
42.5x3
45x3
47.5x3x4
45x3
*Weight was on the lower side of my acceptable scale so I had two gigantic cookies (1/2 oatmeal, 1/2 chocolate chip, 1 double chocolate) and a bunch of chocolate covered fruit and nuts.
