Notes - Outstanding training session, couldn't be more pleased.  OH position on both arms was good, more mobility, less tension.  My left arm got tired near the end of the session but that is my "strong" arm (my R is my "stronger" arm, haha) and that happens with a lot of overhead work.  This was very condensed, on the minute work and it was not easy.  48 DB 24kg Jerk reps in 12 minutes is something I am pleased with, it's obviously a PR as I am just starting out with the Jerk.  It's one hell of a conditioning movement.  You really get breathing heavy.  I really like these, a lot.  It's exciting to practice this movement and see small improvements.
