3:00pm - Complete

Notes - This was quite the ending to this 3-week cycle.  A great training session.  I have been running things pretty hot, training hard, and traveling, not sleeping real consistently.  Still, I was really dialed in today and everything was working in concert.  Felt really strong and tight with the technique on all the movements.  In particular again the snatches with the 24kg felt really good.  I can only attribute this to just overall getting stronger, which makes snatching the 24kg just a little bit easier than it was in the past.  The difference is noticeable.  I was absolutely gassed at the end of of this, pushed it hard, but form never fell off.  Looking forward to a back-off week now, it comes at the right time, and training with Kevin next Friday and seeing how we dial up for the next cycle.

8:15am - Complete

Notes - I screwed up today and did Military Presses instead of cleaning before every press.  Not sure what I was thinking, this probably actually made the presses harder though I crushed through them. Got cleans on the first rep of each set on each arm at least so got in 7 cleans per arm, but just annoyed that I was not thinking.  All around though it's clear I am making a lot of progress.  To nail 7 sets of 3 reps with the 28kg is solid.

Notes - Moving very, very slowly today.  Still trying to get over a cold, and catch up on sleep from last week and this weekend.  Not operating at 100%, but that's ok.  I need to focus on getting to bed the next couple of nights.  In the end this was a strong effort, particularly on the double front squats, which were some of the best I can remember in any recent memory.  Really strong stuff.  The 40kg cleans are something else.  They feel strong, but it also doesn't necessarily feel like I could press that weight.  With that said, I have been holding them in the rack to try and give the body a dose of what these feel like.  And they feel fucking heavy!
