Today wasn't particularly difficult, but it was LONG.  The best part of the day come from squats.  Went into today's training dreading the sets of 8 and 6, but, while they were challenging, they weren't really strenuous.

We were supposed to go to 60% on muscle snatch, but had to drop it down to 50% to do it properly.  Also, push press gave me some difficulty, I missed my last rep.  Anything over 85kg becomes a real battle for me.

Felt good as the day progressed.  Didn't feel sore, didn't feel stiff, didn't feel overly exhausted.  A real positive.
