Notes - Best training session yet.  I am really encouraged.  Body recovering, slept well last night.  Good presses today, the narrower stance is good, I can get under the bell better and set a base.  First time I have snatched since SFGII, so 4 weeks, and this was good.  Really focused on two things - opening the hand at the top of each snatch (take some pressure off the grip / get a little bit of wrist extension), and then on exhaling out of the hole to get the benefit of correct timing on breathing.  That is something that came up during SFGII (exhaling too late, near the top of the snatch at lockout).  Encouraging day and week in general.
