Notes - Really excellent training day today.  Big cues from Kevin to focus on ensuring that I am pressing into the ground with my big toes and ball of the feet.  I was really driving the bell up today and that is the most solid I have ever felt pressing the 36kg.  Given that 6 sets of doubles is what I ended the last cycle on, and it was a challenge, this was a bit surprisingly good today.  Small technique improvements can really make a huge difference.  Also feeling more snappy in the swing after fixing my feet.  All in all, very pleased with this.

Notes -  Great stuff.  Back from Spokane, had to move very quickly here.  Had not done double bell work in a long, long time.  This was really good.  Was checking my feet on the lifts, that was helping.  Did not take much time at all between sets, got a hell of a pump.
