Erin Go Bragh!
The utterly impractical, never predictable,
Sometimes irascible, quite inexplicable, Irish.
Strange blend of shyness,
pride and conceit,
And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat.
He's spoiling and ready to argue and fight,
Yet the smile of a child
fills his soul with delight.
His eyes are the quickest to well up with tears,
Yet his strength is the strongest
to banish your fears.
His hate is as fierce as his devotion is grand,
And there is no middle groundon which he will stand.
He's wild and he's gentle,
he's good and he's bad.
He's proud and he's humble,
he's happy and sad.
He's in love with the ocean,
the earth and the skies,
He's enamored with beauty wherever it lies.
He's victor and victim, a star and a clod,
But mostly he's Irish—
in love with his God.

C. 225-295-335-360-375-385*
D. No time...
Notes:
Missed twice on the 225# snatch then hit it. Missed the clean at 295 twice. Technique was all over the place. Not sure what the deal was. On the second miss I jumped too far back and received the bar funny. It shot me out backwards and I landed on my arse...feels like I have been kicked by a mule in my left butt cheek...I decided to cut my losses and move on. I hit 285# which is about 92-93%. 295# would have been another PR...may have been too greedy today.

Ab Circuit: Ran out of time. Going to try to hit this during my plan.
Notes:
Snatch: Missed the first attempt at 215 then regripped and hit it, but I did take it for a walk off the platform. The other two attempts at 220 and 225 were clean.
C/J: Missed the clean on the first attempt at 275. Weight was too far out in front of me and I lost the rack on the way up. Regripped and hit the clean then missed the jerk. Not sure what my deal was. I did hit the second and third set with no problems. Third set was the best.
FS: May need to figure my percentages off my actual max. I have been figuring off of 375 which is 10# over my PB. Today I felt it. I felt strong for one rep, but the second rep bent me over in a bad way.

B. 340-425-495-535-555-575(f)-425
Notes:
I need to warm up for press better. I limped into this today and didn't have my mind in it. Once I got warm I felt pretty good though.
Missed the 575# by about 2-3 inches, but my form was terrible. Even if I would have pulled it I don't know if I could have counted it.
