Notes - Good stuff today to start a new cycle where we are upping the volume and are going to push things a bit in prep for the SFG in mid November.  This was a very good start, I am very pleased.  Today was a complex hitting all the main SFG lifts with the double bells, with TGUs and snatching to close and end the complex.  Big-time strength focus using the double 24s.  I picked sets of 4 for the PR as I had a sense that I would be able to complete all reps in both sets without failure.  Perfect choice.  Got to the very last rep on the 2nd set and ground out a very good final press.  Pretty sweet.  Felt strong today, all movements felt very solid which reflects practicing all of these quite a bit overall the last several months.  Really liked the program for today.
