Zerchers again - 225 x 2 on ~20-sec rest

Was away Friday night and Saturday, lots of driving and played a concert at 9 AM Saturday.

Sunday, lots of banging at the ice on the driveway with a pickaxe because the weather had warmed but was predicated to get cold again.

Monday, the pickaxe work and all the driving caught up with me - stiff, tired, so no exercise other than stretching and early to bed.

Today, Tuesday, feeling pretty good.

warmup 2 x 12 kg: swing x 10, rest, snatch x 8 - hadn't done any doubles work in a long time, and didn't like how the lockout felt on the double snatches so decided to stop after 8.  Lockouts were legal but still not right for me, need better t-spine extension and shoulder mobility on these.

ZSQ: 155 x 1, 195 x 1, 215 x 1 - focused on keeping bar close and pushing bar up but _didn't_ focus on staying tight and felt it in lower back.  215 x 1 again, stayed tight, felt good - better afterwards than after the previous rep.  225 x 2 singles on short rest

I got them skinny man Zercher blues - The "blues" are that, at the bottom, my belly isn't up against the bar. The only other thing I can think of is letting the bar roll back on my thighs, which sounds painful and also makes me have a lower start. Not quite sure what to do about this particular form issue.
