Sn triples from above knees- 95x3, 115x3 with singles of 135x2

Snatch(full) attempt of 177# with 3 misses that were either lost at the bottom or on the way up from bottom. Really close to getting this lift!

Cleans- 135x5, 185x3, PR attempt ofr 245#-miss

Snatches felt great today. Great pulls and seemed quick under the bar. The upper resp. infection I have was very much evident during the cleans, taking all my energy away. I have difficult times getting weights that I consider working weights. Tried 245# for grins and if I had a little more juice to get under it would've been a good lift. Second pull got the bar to chest height with good vertical path. Soon......

Started training with a coach last Saturday so my programming has changed. Basically in order to fix my issues I have to start over completely. All my coach has me doing now is the first and second pulls broken into 3 parts: floor to above knee, above knee to mid thigh, and mid thigh to shrug. For the next 3 weeks(1 month total) my workouts will look like this:

Day 1
Clean grip pulls-95#x10x5 each part
Whatever squats, DLs or jerks I want after
METCON

Day 2
Snatch grip pulls same weight and rep scheme
Whatever support work I choose
METCON

Day 3
Clean grip
Support work
METCON

Day 4
Snatch grip
Support work
METCON

Any other workouts are on my own. So far it's going well.
