Wow it was like starting all over with the OHS, no balance or flexibility at all. This is going to make the 120 on Saturday next to impossible to do. Guess I have some time to get to know my judge.
Shoulders and Traps this morning. I'm going to have to find a new way to work out for the next few days though. My gym is going to be closed for 3 full days for cleaning.
Had the odd urge to do some OHS today and 120 seemed like a good number to build up to.
65,80,90,100,110ish, 120 big fail. Learned I shouldn't try to snatch 120 up. Going to power clean it on Saturday and then adjust my grip and split jerk it up. I hope. or I could be spending the time to get to know my judge better. ack

Hit the gym tonight for some shoulders and arms, little bit of back and lots of dips. I've got to make some more time to get to the gym. I'm getting weak.
