Notes -  Pretty interesting day here.   My total reps went down by 2 compared with last week but in some ways I think this was a "harder" effort and shows definite progress because of working in the sets of 5.  Sets of 5 are no joke and I was able to nail 5 of them before rightly dropping down to 3s.  I was at 5 minutes left at that point and was able to get in 4 more solid sets of 3/3.  This week unlike last week I had no time at all to rest after the DB SS PR and just jumped right into the 1H SW with the 32kg.  Very strong reps, I was trying to control my breathing as I was definitely getting gassed but kept the power up.  Literally finished 2 seconds before the 5 minute buzzer went off.  Cool.  I think on the press I can engage my lat more than I am and this is something I want to work on with Kevin.  Really though, feeling pretty strong right now with the press.
