Notes - Really outstanding training session. I was looking over some old notes and while I do have some training sessions where I hit more than 10 reps total with the 36kg press, I don't know that I have done 10 sets like this. I think the most I have repped out is 21 reps in a 1/1, 2/2 ladder format for 7 sets and the 2/2 was a C&P, not MP. So this will be very interesting as we go up each training session for this current cycle. So far, I am extremely encouraged. This is by far the best the 36kg bell has ever felt. My set-up is dialed in, I am getting tight, cleans are solid, using the lat to press, looking at the bell through the sticking point area (but I am not hitting a sticking point on any of these presses), and then a solid active negative (but not overly negative or slow) back into the rack. Also mixed in some 1H SW today to see how things felt, really concentrated on locking down the lat. I was a bit shocked that these felt this good, but smart to keep the weight relatively light (28kg) and reps low (5/5).
