Notes -  I didn't quite get the snatching done in 10 minutes as I switched hands on my last set when the timer was off.  So I probably took 10:30 to get 60 reps.  This is an improvement of 6 reps though under the 10 minute mark from last week when I could only get 9 sets in for a total of 54 reps per arm or 108 reps total.  Today was 114 in 10 minutes with another 6 to finish for 120 reps total.  So some modest improvement.   I do think the technique is improving, I am using my hips more and more and the bell is moving quicker to lockout.  My groove on the R side has been steadily improving which is cool.  I have been starting each set though with the R and I am noticing that as I fatigue the L side loses some steam.  So next week I am going to start with the L and try and re-balance things out again.  Overall, good progress but I still find it hard to imagine hitting 100 reps with the 24kg in 5 minutes (SFG snatch test).  I am probably strong enough but technique needs refinement so I don't get so gassed.  I am just toasted at the end of these 10 minute sets.  I push it hard.
