7:30am - Complete

Notes - Really good training session.

The 20 kg snatches absolutely smoked me, totally gassed.  For my last  set back with the 16s, however, those felt light.  Have to keep working the 20s.  The 5,4,3,2,1 ladder scheme working back and forth between L/R without setting down the bell was something I really liked for snatches.

Really like 1H SW with the 32s as well.  Really have to snap hips and keep the lat engaged as the bell floats up.
