1 RM Clean: 165lb (4 Jan 10)

This is the second class I've taken and have made some significant improvement in my lifts. The biggest areas where I need to improve and refine my technique are the first and third pulls. I also need to improve my torso strength and flexibility so that I can maintain a more upright torso during the lifts.

The limiting factor on my snatch is my fear of getting under the bar, which is something that is only going to improve with practice. For the cleans, it's the amount of weight that I can front squat.
