Very fast on the snatch!  :)thumbsup

You jump back a lot on the clean. Is that normal?

Thanks, Matt. Yeah, I have noticed that about my clean too. But it is only when I get close to max when I do that. I haven't quite evaluated why yet. It's been awhile since I taped any of my training sessions to look at technique issues.

New PR in the front squat today! Actually I made three, but who's counting?!  biggrin:)
I PRed Tuesday at 125kg (didn't try to go for more) then today I went for 105%+ and eventually made my way up to 137.5kg before missing 140kg. This is crazy because about seven weeks ago I maxed in back squat at 140kg! I'll be going for a new max back squat about a week from now.....stay tuned!   rockon:)
