Notes -
Good session, though interrupted several times by my kids who woke up early.  I took those breaks effectively between sets so a little extra rest minute or two here and there.  Actually all the reps felt really good.  I had torn a callous on my right hand pinkie last Thursday and continued to wear socks to cover that spot as my hand heals up.  Real solid work all around today.

Notes -
Slept in after a long night and very long week, and knowing I didn't have much to do at work.  I had torn a callous on my right hand pinkie the day before, so I picked up some socks for my hands from Ross and used those during the session.  Awkward, didn't like them, but they totally protected my callous as it started healing so this was a score.  I liked the SS PR and will be working these into my regular training regime.  Doing the 5 heavy singles for the C&P with the 32 was AWESOME and I totally had these in the bag.  I have to work up to more than 1 rep with a 32 - I feel I have this on my R but not certain on L.

Notes - Great session, really banged out the 6 sets of the C&PPR no issues whatsoever.  Snatched a 24 with both L/R and bumped up do a set of 5 L/R, which is a PR.  Felt awesome and I have much more in the tank there for the SN.  Very cool.
