Today was the best I've felt since I started this new training phase.  No missed lifts and didn't seem to need as much rest in between sets.  Part of it was that the volume was far less.  Anyway I'll take it!  I made my back squats at 85%, which was a win, even though they felt really heavy.

With my snatches, I need to continue my focus on pulling down more aggressively under the bar, which is a reason for why I continue to jump back.

My cleans felt solid and strong coming out of the bottom.  For some reason, it's easier for me to aggressively pull myself under the clean than it is the snatch.  I'll be looking forward to a good training session tomorrow and taking this momentum onto next week!
