unexpected Saturday max day

After soaking up the sun for a few hours and getting burnt in the process, I decided to travel to Monaghan to see if I could stir my brother into lifting. With sore thighs from Thursdays squatting I intended to lift light.
Snatch 40x3; 50x3; 55x3; 60x3; 65x1; 70x1 [fail] 70x1 [fail] 70x1; 75x1[pb] 77.5x3[pb]; 80x1 [close] Sean didn't bother to snatch much. Alot mof kids around, adults, tractors, footballs flying. My concentration is now very good. I dont let negative thoughts enter.
Clean and Jerk. Sean finally stirred himself to 2 pb's 82.5 and 85kg c+j which equalled the masters record for his age. Maybe this will encourage him to train properly.
Brendan's c+j 60x3; 70x2; 80x2; 90x1; 100x1; 105 fail [clean very hard and strength left. ]
My total was 177.5kg which I was pleased about.
Deadlift 90x3; 110x3; 130x3; 150x1; 170x1; 128x1; 190x1.
I am going to give myself 2 days off now to rest the legs which are aching.
Upcoming goals: [b4 end of June]
112.5 clean
105 c+j
110 rack jerk
200 deadlift
compete in 1st competiton for many many years
