"Snatch"

For load:

Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

95-115-125-135-140-145-155(f)

This was performed at work without the forgiveness of bumper plates. I wish I had a coach standing nearby watching and correcting my form, but I did the best I could. I should have tried 150 before my 155 attempt. I'm sure I could have gotten 155 if I took my time and worked on my form. We had 2 calls during my warm-up and work out, which interrupted my mental focus.
