Notes - Good training session, I kind of screwed it up because I let me son use my phone and didn't have the notes in front of me.  It would have made more sense to swing then snatch, then FSQ, but I had it backwards and I went swing, into FSQ, and then snatched.  Oh well.  It was a quick, good training session in any event.

Notes - Great end to the 3-week training cycle with another PR pressing the 40kg, 6 singles each arm!  I knew this was going to be tough as I traveled back and forth to and from Spokane yesterday/today.  It's always difficult to train on the same day as a plane flight, but I dialed this in and got it done in the late afternoon after getting back to Seattle.  Really excited about how this cycle went.

8:10am - Complete

Notes - Very good training day, feel like I got some things accomplished here.  I have noticed that I feel stronger pressing the bell (strict press) on the L side, than a push press on that side, and vice versa on the R - push press feels more solid on the R as I have had some mobility issues at times strict pressing on the R.  I noticed a bit of that today and once I got to the 48kg, I just felt like trying to push press it in a fatigued state would be a bad idea.  So just did another loaded CL.  All in all, very solid.  It is going to take me some time handling the 44kg bell to be ready for the 48kg, I can tell.  But progress is being made.

Notes - Wow, great training session today.  Felt very strong.  5 sets of ladders to triples for C&P with the 36kg.  This is like a mini ROP here, that is a decent amount of presses with a heavy weight.  I am extremely pleased with the progress.  Feeling confident with the technique and taking enough rest to know for sure I am going to hit every single press without any potential for hitting failure, which has been the case, even on the 5th set today.
