Today was the first time snatching higher than 75%.  I felt a lot more comfortable when compared to snatching last week.  On the video below, you'll notice that I'm back to jumping back a bit, especially in the second rep.  I'm looking forward to getting Sean's eyes on me more consistently here in a couple weeks!

The high volume of squatting is really feeling like it's paying off.  It's the first time that 80% has actually felt like 80%, and not 90%! HA!!  I'm looking for a big squat PR and some transferability to my cleans.

Push presses were tough, however.  I ended up going 5 for 9.  Still need to work on my overhead strength, obviously.
