415 x miss

All my pulls were nice up to 365, which is the nicest 365 I have ever pulled.  Ross and I decided on a big jump going to 410 and I would've had it if I believed I could get it.  The first try at it was exactly that, a "try" - I went down for the bar and tested it instead of just pulling with everything I had- the weight didn't move.  I reset right away and went for it again and pulled harder - I thought it wasn't off the floor so I started back down with it then realized it was up so only then did I really start to try, got it to my knees but by that point I was burnt out.  Took a break to think about it then Ross loaded 415 and I missed it, it didn't even budge off the floor.  Ross and I decided we'll need to re-work my jumps in weight, and I need to get more aggressive and believe I can pull whatever it is I'm trying to pull, instead of testing it.  

I'm really happy with the way 365 went up and felt - it was deliberate and controlled and I believed I could do it strongly.
