Slow Cindy

Haven't done Cindy in a while. Haven't been doing many push-ups lately either - starting with round 6, all my push-ups were on my knees.

Only got 13 rounds + 5 jumping pull-ups.
Last May, I got 18! I was doing lots of push-ups back then...

Oly lifting @CFD

We worked on heavy snatches & cleans. Not so dissimilar from last week's oly lifting class.

Snatches - 70 x 1, 1, 1, 1
Lots of fails mixed in with the successes.
PR by 5 pounds (if you compare last week's 65# hang power snatch to this week's full 70# snatch...)

Cleans - 115 x 1, 1, f, 1, 1
PR by 10# (compared to last week's 105# power snatch)
