Bent Press and Snatch - Progress on both

Windmill - 16 kg, 3L, 3R

Bent Press - 5' bar

30 lb (empty bar) x 5L, 5R - right shoulder feels out of the groove, so does left hip

40 lb x 5L, 5R - much better, trying to compare side and take the best from both to use in both

50 lb x 5L, 5R - not too shabby

55 lb x 3L, 3R - first rep left was weak, next 2 were strong.  Tried to imagine first rep right was already pre-loaded from a previous rep and that helped.

Given how much form is improving, and given volume for the day, we'll stop Bent Pressing there.  Will consider doing fewer reps in some of the middle sets next time in order to save strength for the heaviest work set or two, e.g., might do 30 x 5, 40 x 3, 50 x 1 or 2, and 55 x 5

18: snatch, 15L/R + 16L/R - total 62 reps in 4 "hands" instead of 60 w/ 6 "hands" - excellent result, time was 4:00 even, did not put the bell down, still not happy w/ explosiveness of turn-around at back but overall, progress.

Onward and Upward
