Snatch - Volume day
Snatch
40 * 2
50 * 2
60 * 2
70 * 2
(85%)72.5 * 2 * 5 sets
I missed maybe 2 of the 10 reps.
The snatches that I got felt easy, although I missed a few forwards, due to lack of focus I think.
I need to work on being more focused for every snatch lift and being more consistent.

Overhead Squats
70 * 3
80 * 3
85 * 3 * 2

Snatch Pulls
80 * 3
85 * 3
90 * 3
Snatch pulls felt light, each one came to about my chin.
Trying to maintain my weight on my heels throughout the pull and keep the hips back, shoulders out over the bar, and chest up.
