Notes - So - 2 PRs today. I have never snatched the 32kg and I got 8 sets of doubles done, lead by 1H SW on each set to get some momentum into the hips.  The first time that 32kg flew up over head into lockout I was like "FUCK YEAH I JUST DID THAT".  I thought I could do this, but to actually do it, well this is an exciting moment for me.  I didn't want to push anything hard today, when you are working at the end range of you max, you need to be smart.  So I parked the snatches after 8 sets of doubles.  However, I was staring at the 32kg on the ground and I thought, man, I bet I can press this thing for doubles now.  So I cleaned it and prompted pressed it for a triple on both sides.  Unbelievable.  I would not say it was "easy" on the 3rd rep but I was not at failure and it was a smooth grind and press into lockout.  This is very exciting for me and I look forward to continuing to slowly build on this momentum.
