Failed Blob Lift last night

I rested for the full week, plus 2 days. I soaked my hands, got pumped up listening to music, did everything i thought i was supposed to do and when i tried to lift the blob i got it about 2-3 inches off the ground on my first attempt. Great start, right - Wrong, it never broke the ground again all night. I should be happy i guess but all it did was piss me off.
So them i tried my luck at grippers, i knew the #3 would be way off so i tried for the #2.5. And i failed at that 2 times also. WTF. The 2 things i rested up for and i failed both.
Next i put a nail into a board with no hammer. And that did not go well either. I have a video i need to load today. I usually do this in my shed where my bench is solid. last night i did it on my bending table and it has a little bit of give and i think that is what made it so tough. I have done the 3-1/2" & 4" nails a bunch of times now and it took my about 5 tries to get them this time. Then i tried the 60d nail. Now yes this is larger then the nails i have seen others do it with but it is possible. I failed at that a bunch of time and i was loosing my temper. I i made sure i put everything into it. Bam, no good, but my hand still hurts. My palm feels like a big bruise and it affected the movement of my thumb (right hand). It does not seem to affect my strength, just my pain. great, it figures, i usually do something stupid like this every so often. Maybe i should get the DVD on how to drive a nail the proper way. Naaa, that would make sense.

Then came the workout, by the time i was done i set a new PR in the 2 HP (203.2) so all that thumb work did something. I also set a max with the 1 arm Axle DL (160). but my 2 hp was only at 135, may off my PR of 155. But that will come up.

Sledge - 5 sets of 1 w/16 lb (full handle)
1 Arm Axle - 110, 120, 130, 140 & 150
2" Vbar - 68, 113, 158, 183, 193, 203
2 Hp - 115, 135, 135
Hub w/ 25 lb plate - 2 sets of 5 sec

I did try the 20 lb sledge again but failed, i need to be pumped for that one, i'll get it.
