Well...for all the drama that went on in my head, this workout was not so brutal.  Snatch was fun as always and new grip feels amazingly more solid.  95# felt light.  However, I was coached to try and punch my arms into a more solid position in the catch because they 'float' or 'wobble' a bit.  And I know this and need to just fix it.   The front squats I was sure would kill me did not kill me.  I did all sets of 5 and was quite pleased with that.  This telling me a percentage thing works well because on my own there's no way I would have done that much weight times 30 because I would have thought I couldn't.  I have it so in my head that I can't squat heavy.  But here I did 135x30 and really-  not a problem.  Every 5th rep was hard but mostly midline stabilization...my upper back gives first.  Legs really held up okay.  First set of lunges was fine, second set my right hami kinda seized up.  That whole right butt, hip, hami are kinda tight and trying to be trouble again.  I am currently plugged into the Compex and did a bunch of rolling/stretching after the workout.  I skipped the second set of hamstring curls because I didn't want to push my hamstrings anymore.  Rowing was a good cool down.  I also then went home and took my dog on a long hike.  Thanks!
