OPT Week 5 Day 2

A. Back squat with chains 6, 6, 4, 4, 2, 2; rest 2 min (Weighed the chains and they are 41.8lbs at the top of the squat and 26.8lbs at the bottom)  I used the chains last week and felt great, however, I started with with too much weigit today for the reps of 6.  In fact I was still breathing hard two minutes later when I would start the next set.  I was planning on ending with 315 or more but, with starting as heavy as I did, I just did not have it on the final sets.
1st set = 265 + chains, 2nd set = 265 + chains, 3rd set = 275 + chains, 4th = 275 + chains, 5th = 285 + chains, 6th = 295 =  = chains

B. Squat snatch from high blocks 1, 1, 1; rest 2 min
Once again, SNATCH!  I used to be very scared of this lift as it always messed up my back for weeks or months.  I would just skip crossfit WODs that had it and get a workout from another sight.  My back has been good for months now since I have given up heavy deadlift with a normal bar and switched to the trap bar.  My back is strong enough to actually do the snatch and not injure myself, but I am tiptoeing into this lift.  On top of that, I have never done snach from high blocks until today.  So today was once again a "form and movement" day for this lift.  I did three or four at 95lbs before starting part B of this WOD.
1st = 105lbs, 2nd = 115lbs, 3rd = 125lbs
