Notes - This was a great training session particularly coming right off running 6 1/2 miles and walking another 4 or so yesterday afternoon.  I was pretty worried about my recovery but this was good.  Frankly I did the same volume as a week ago but it "felt different."  Shaved 3 minutes off the DB PR work and 1 minute off the 1H SW with the 32 compared with 1 week ago.  The presses were very, very strong.  Excellent cleans, really good base on the heels and locked glutes, and really squeezing the bells on the ascent and the descent.  On the 1H SW I did hand transfers for the middle 6 sets of the 8 sets total, going back and forth L to R, R to L.  Really excellent and I felt much more comfortable doing that this week, and the reps felt very strong.  Felt like real progress.  The goal next week would be to shave a little more time from the DB PR work, and then actually do get the volume up a little higher in the 1H SW with the 32 kg.
