Notes -  Squats felt outstanding.  Focused on drilling the elbows down and staying tight, and it really helped.  Even on the ladders of 5, I was feeling very strong.  My plan was to jump to 24 kgs this Friday since I will have a limited number of bells with me in Spokane.  I don't think this will be an issue after today's session.

Snatching - his is the most I have ever snatched.  I feel like 10 more reps in a week is a solid gain.  With that said I felt the reps were stronger and better this week, but I was more gassed.  Hitting 3 sets of 15/15 just killed me.  This is unusual to be going high in reps for me and it takes a lot to really concentrate and nail the reps and also not completely lose it from the drain on the body.  It demands efficient technique.
