9:40am - Complete

Notes -  So sometimes you take what you can get..... I felt strong in the DB work today when getting through the reps, but needed extra rest.  I woke up, I have been running very hot lately with my time management and lack of sleep.  So it doesn't surprise me I needed a little more rest yet the strength is there.  I then blew away my previous PR with the snatch, doing 170 reps when my previous was 150.  I was absolutely gassed at the end and breathing very, very heavily.  That was an unbelievable amount of work in 7 minutes.  It was pretty cool to be able to do that and I look forward to seeing how I might improve it in the future, leading to better gains with the 24 kg hopefully with the goal of 100 reps in 5 minutes, the SFG snatch test standard.
