It's a very distinct moment when something jars my left hip and it's not in a stable position. At that point I did singles with no issues. 
B. I warmed up the cleans really slow and did UB on the 225's and singles on the 235. I was a little nervous so I didn't catch anything too low in the power just in case.

Had and amazing turn out for our annual Halloween party on Friday night. From all the decorating and long night I didn't work out on Sat at all. I want to do this but couldn't get it together to get back to gym today. I was tired of the gym to be honest. NO SORENESS today on hip other than usual soreness and the last two days I have not been wearing the ankle brace. It's tender but hasn't been a problem. Just felt the need to test it the last two days.

Only did Bench today. Got pressed for time. Stress wasn't bad these last couple days. Ankle is getting better and I think it's about ready to test. I am still wearing my ankle brace if I do anything that I am nervous about. Hip I am unsure about. I am ready to test it out as well.

So, I tweaked my ankle on the 4th or 5th set. I'm not sure exactly but it stiffened up on Friday which I will talk about below. It impacted my results on Friday which sucked mentally a bit but up until then everything felt pretty good. 
Saturday
A. Power Snatch; 1.1.1.1; rest 20s / 2 minutes x 4 sets 175 for 2 sets / 185 for 2 sets
B. Back Squat; 5 reps @21X1; rest 3 minutes x 4 sets **265lbs for all sets**
C. Close Grip Bench Press; 5 reps @21x1; rest 3 minutes x 4 sets *155 for 2 sets / 165 for 2 sets**

D3. RNT reverse lunges left leg; 8 reps; 
D4. Half kneeling bottoms up KB press @20x1; 8 reps rightrest 2 minutes x 4 sets 
A. Woke up ankle was super sore. Wore an ankle brace I have just in case which worked through the power snatches but my form wasn't very good. I finished the snatches but probably should have rested the whole day. 
B. Warming up for Back Squats was fine until I got to 225. I needed more ankle mobility in the bottom and was afraid to push the weight. It wasn't hurting too bad but I didn't want to risk it. I did do the 4 sets 225 though.
C. Close Grip Bench went good no issues
D1,D2,D3,D4: All were solid and I did 26lb KB's for the bottoms up with no issues. I just can't hold that 35lbs for all 8 lol. I can do 3-5 but not all 8 reps.
