Notes - Was really pleased with the squat today.  I thought about doing 270 for the work sets and then when I got there I was feeling good and confident and just went with the 275 for another PR.  While these have not been easy, I feel and believe I can continue to add weight to the bar steadily.  I am able to get under the bar better, feeling more confident with it on my back.  Watching video I need to continue to be hitting depth and I really focused on that in particular on my last set.  I've never powercleaned a bar in my life, so I tried today.  I have been reading the SS Blue Book all week and watching a lot of videos from SS on the powerclean.  I think it will be helpful to deadlift one day a week and then use the other day for practicing powercleans.  I really, really enjoyed the movement.  I love cleaning and jerking KBs, so this does feel natural to me and I do have some explosive capabilities.  What I do not have is a clue on how to rack the bar well and get my hands out of the way, so this is going to take a lot, lot, lot of practice.
