Notes - This was good stuff, I enjoyed this today.  Still a bit sore and tight from that snatching the 28kg on Wed, but got warmed up, was moving better, and felt good to go.  I like this "KB aerobics" training set a lot and look forward to more of this in the future, would like to even consider doing this as a harder training session with the 24kg, then later, the 28kg.  But the point for today was to not overload the weight but use this to mobilize, work on technique, and just keep a steady pace for 20 mins with no undue rest. By the end I was sweating and feeling good.  Snatching out of the rack position from a SQ is somewhat tough but it forced me to try and get the bell back into the hole and really drive out with the hips.  Snatching the 20kg today felt like a joke compared to the 28kg on Wed:)
