I attempted a split jerk of 155 this morning. Notice that I did not say I completed. The weight failed to reach the top of the lift, I guess I failed to put it there. Really it was a failure of concentration rather than a failure of muscle. I was working with 135 and getting it without much problem. I attempted 145 and made that too. When I was getting ready for my 155 pound attempt, I somehow forgot where I wanted my legs to go, and I think it threw me off. The bar was probably 5 feet in the air and there was no way for me to catch it as it came crashing to the gym floor. It made an incredible noise. My lifts are getting better as I get more confident and strong.

I made it to TKD for class today by chance as my planned meeting ended earlier that it was scheduled. That makes it more likely that I will get in my required classes in before testing. Now I just have to learn my one-steps. I will work on them and the kick reverse-kick portion of the form this week.
