Notes -  Well, I keep upping the reps with the 24 on SN and it feels good:)  I got very little quality sleep last night so getting warmed up was a struggle.  However swinging a 44kg will wake you up:)  The snatching felt really good.  Consistent pace.  I am pulling a little with my R arm as I think I do not have enough hip snap on the R side, need to get that bell back into the hole and use the hips more.  The L arm felt really good which is funny because this is my weaker side and is the one I used to have many more issues snatching with.  I also had a callous starting to show signs of a tear on the R hand and that altered technique a bit which also was a minor issue making the R side a bit less smooth.  I was pretty aware and adjusting all the time during the sets though so at least my awareness level is up and I am trying to pay a lot of attention to keeping good form and not breaking down.
