Snatching was fun.  I didn't come close to failing any but I did power snatch the 4th rep.  I have to say though, the last 3 were my best 3 and that was satisfying.  Tempo front squats- 5th rep was tough to not drop chest forward on the 5th rep at every weight so I shoulda just started heavier I guess.  I was dreading the lunges like I always do.  I put more weight on than I usually do just so that I would feel proud because I knew I would hate it either way.  And I do still hate lunges...but it was a good confidence builder for me because I did it and it wasn't that bad.  The lateral lunges still feel awkward.  Sumo good mornings I found tough and uncomfortable at all weights, so again, I will go ahead and just try more weight next time.  They are a good stretch and I feel most of the tension in my right glute.  Single leg good mornings are getting better little by little...I can tell I need them.  I have to say, I started this workout feeling kinda sad and down on myself and after I got some music on and started sweating, slowly by the time I was done I felt strong and okay.  So...thanks Max!
