Notes - Great session. Wow the DB PR was great.  I look forward to continuing to challenge myself and see what I can get done in 15 minutes, while maintain form.  I really felt like the technique stayed all the way through the sets.  I also felt like I was able to engage my chest more than I have in the past in getting through the stick point on the press, which was cool.  I didn't feel as engaged in the glutes as I would have liked, which led to a little leakage of strength and made the press harder than it needed to be.  If I can dial that in I bet I can easily get 20 sets of 2 in 15 minutes and still be fresh at the end.  I also felt the 1H SW were very strong, kept the arm close to the body, lat engaged, arm straight.  Technique felt good and the bell was light for many of the reps.  It will be awesome to see this translate into 1H SW with the 32 in the future, hell, maybe the 36....
