Hitting the 10 minute sets today

I have always been one to shy away from the 10 minute sets. I don't no what it is about them but my mind goes crazy and I usually only hit the 8 minute mark. All my 10 minute sets are usually training with the Lockout crew, I am going to change that because I think it will make a big difference on the platform.

Jerks 2x24kg 10min@ 7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,8,8 this was tough but I am getting back into the grove mentally I feel good.
Snatches 24kg 10min Lx14,14,14,14,14 Rx14,14,14,14,14 on both hands the last minute was tough but no tears.
Swings 32kgx 50/50

That was my main workout, I am practicing some body weight work also
1 arm wall push ups 2x10 each arm
Hanging from leg raises 2x10

Still feel pretty good after all this plus the shoveling I did today. MA got hit by a blizzard, we got lucky here in E.B. We got about a foot of snow its heavy and wet not fun to shovel. There were a lot of other places that got hit a lot worse so I have no complaints here.
Can't wait for tomorrows training going to push for 8rpms in the Jerk and 16 rpms in the Snatch.
