Notes - Wow, awesome day.  I could not be more pleased here.  Things are really progressing and I think with some of the consistent chiro adjustments and focused mobility work, I have unlocked a couple of restrictions that were holding back performance.  I worked all day yesterday on my house, hard work pressure washing, up on ladders etc. and didn't get impacted at all during today's training.  Got a good night's rest, felt good getting warmed up.  I did pause for a second and think man 8/8 is going to be hard for snatching.  But then I said hell, it's only 6 minutes.  I turned up some AC/DC and just crushed these snatches.  Definitely an improvement over the last two weeks and I am very pleased.  I think I am right at being able to complete the 5-minute snatch test, which is pretty sweet given that I have not been focused on snatching.  That 24kg bell is definitely way, way lighter than it used to be.  Great stuff indeed.
