Olympic Lifting Day I

Power Snatch w/ 30kg x 2 + 2 Drop Snatches
Power Snatch w/ 50kg x 1,1
[Power Snatch w/ 54kg x 1 x 15
1 minute rest]

Power Clean + Power Jerk w/ 54kg x 1,1

[Power Clean + Power Jerk w/ 68kg x 1 x 10
1 minute rest]

[GM w/ 68kg x 4 x 5
2 minutes rest]

NOTES:
-I finally managed to increase my bests in the power snatches and PC&PJ.
The whole workout was good, but left my nervous system pretty tired. If time would have been plentiful, I would have taken a small power nap, just to take the edge off.
-Although I was tired, I did notice the powerful effect (explosiveness) the combination of olympic lifting and good mornings have together. Good stuff.
-I can imagine these kind of workout aren't the athlete's in-season favorites, but I think they have their place in the off season.
