Deadlift/ Heavy Snatch day

I love these training days, because I can really feel myself growing stronger in the movements.

2 warm up sets.
Deadlift- 2x225 lbs.
Snatches- 5x24 kg.

4 work sets.
Deadlift- 2x315 lbs.
Snatches- 5x32 kg.

Between sets I knocked out sets of 3 pull ups with 10 kg.

Had to cut the sets short after a small tear on my right pinky. Snatches were clean, it was the deadlift that did it. That finger doesn't really work right, so it's hard to keep it in shape.

Last 2 sets were-
Deadlift- 2x315 lbs.
Pull ups 3 sets of 3x10 kg.

definitely getting stronger in these. The deadlifts feel much better, and I'm ripping the snatches out much more easily. Only real issue is keeping a solid backswing, as it really wants to go back to the floor.

My workspace. :)
