-I hate a smelly snatch! Just was not getting under it nicely today. Going to do HCs on Dead and Press day then HSns on Squat and Bench day - Progressive on upper body days and straight sets with top weights on lower body days.
-Wasn't very focussed on last set of squats - form was pretty good though and got what I wanted.
-135 for 5x10 should be no issue.
-HLRs were done with bent elbows - this seems to be much easier on the shoulders - cleaned up with straight leg sit-ups.
-Foam and ball roll upper right glute - had a little pain there.
-Nice first cycle - I'm liking the 5/3/1 stuff

-Step-ups were taxing on the grip
-HLRs still need work stick with 3x5 and fill in the total reps with another exercise like today. The last set of 20 with the ab wheel was pretty hard. HLRs seem to be f'n with my shoulders.
