2 Sets of 3 Reps @ 80% of 1 Rep Max of the Day

Daily Volume: 98
Weekly Volume: 456

The combination between adapting to the training later in the week and my new narrower foot position is making squats SO much easier.  Getting a 10kg jump in two days when squatting to a max is not bad at all.  Granted, today's volume was not high, but I felt very confident today in my squats.  I'll take it.  Let's see if I can take this momentum forward and see some continued improvement in my squat numbers.

My lifts, especially my snatches, were on point today.  Really focusing on speed and fast hips really paid off.  My first rep at 85% was, according to Sean, the best snatch he's seen me make to date. Sweet! It was great to end this week's training on a high note.  85% never felt easier!  The extra squatting may be paying off.  Go figure!
