The makings of a good lifter?

Headed in earlier than usual today. Wasn't expecting too much because I haven't been sleeping well past two nights, in large part due to the enormous bruise I am now sporting on my lower back which is waking me up whenever I roll over at night. At least the bruise isn't stopping me training though.

Today:
Warmup, couple of sets of OHS and DS with bar
Power snatch: 3@25, 2@30, 1@35, 38, 40, miss@42, 42, 43, 44, miss@45, 2@35 x 5
Rack jerk warmup
Rack jerk: 2@35, 1@40, 45, 50, 54, 58, 62, 64, 66, miss@68 x 2, 2@55 x 3

Back squat: 5@55, 3@65, 1@75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 2@76 x 3
Snatch grip special exercise: 3@56 x 3

Power snatches were quite off form, not as precise as usual with the trajectory and a bit of arm pull on a couple, put that down to tiredness. Rack jerks were quite good though, happy with those. 68 is my best from the rack, I didn't quite manage to equal it today but more because of lack of strength than poor technique I think.

Now to watch the 53s in the Europeans for a bit of inspiration :)
