9:30am - Complete

Notes - Well, this was exciting and much smoother, plus a PR for a lift that I had never even tried with 2 24s - the double snatch.  Picked up the bells and just did it.  I got a lot of confidence from having double KBM earlier this year which had a lot of double snatching with 2 20s.  This was super cool.  I was also less focused here on doing a ton of sets and instead just making sure I was ready to go each set.  A success today.

Notes - Obviously kind of messed this up today, I guess how this is going to go this week.... I did feel better though.  Squeezed the glutes and tried to stay tighter in the abs on the presses, that definitely was helping a lot, a good adjustment.  I am definitely wondering if I am still too heavy on the bells, but I want to try and stick this out with the 24s.  I think I am still probably not resting long enough between each set.
