Notes - Another excellent training session.  Weight down 1/2 a pound from Monday. Just have to keep going slow and steady for the next month for my wedding on September 15th and see if I can get from 218 to 210. Likely very difficult but will try and see if I can make continued improvements.  Feeling very strong and body comp has definitely improved losing the first 10 lbs.  Sessions like this are a great blend of conditioning under load.

Notes - Very pleased with this training session.  I weighed 218 after this.  I am down 10 lbs from where I started, and would like to get down to 210 by wedding day on September 15th.  The focus on conditioning has been very good, and I have cleaned up my diet, taking down the carbs and just focusing on real foods.  Feeling strong and the video of my last set of 5s looked good from a technique standpoint, which is very encouraging to be doing with 2 28s. I believe I am capable of doing this training session with 32s at some point in the near future, and not having it feel like a total max effort.

Notes -  Hardest training session of the week.  Challenging, double front squats, cannot remember the last time I did them.  Felt great.  Really good form, I didn't have any issues at all.  Doing BU FSQs in the warm up for months has maintained my squatting form and I think all of the snatching has just overall improved my hips and low back.  This was very encouraging.
