24, R  1X to hand position into 1X full get up

7:15am - Complete

Notes - Technique good on all lifts.  I have been doing these in the manner described above (not setting the bell down between the half get up and then into the full getup, rather after the half get up I go back to the starting position, and then do a full get up).  It is a decent amount of time under load for each arm.  I am really noticing fatigue when I get to the 24, though that does not impact the quality of the rep I do with the 24 as I really try to make it an excellent rep.  I am just going to stay here until I get to the point where my body tells me - do a couple more reps with the 24.  It is coming I think.  I actually got a lot of training in this week and the body is just responding great to it.  No reason to try and push way ahead at this point.  Slow and steady, keep making gains.
