Lessons/Observations:

I felt fine after 8 rounds of Tabata snatches with the 70 so I decided to do 2 more rounds of high speed hard style snatches and that got me toasted, but even then not as bad as normal. I must really be getting my cardio up there. Cardio/overall fatigue is the only thing that fatigues on these. I even got 8 reps per 20 seconds in one of the rounds but I didn't count the rep so things would be easy to figure out.

COC all felt great on the left, finally the set feels right and I am able to crank out the reps again. Not anywhere close to my right hand still but hopefully the left hand will be able to move up to the #2 soon so I don't have to hold the right hand back anymore.

Pinch grip is sucking right now but since my crush and wrist are making such great progress I won't complain; not long ago my pinch was rocking and crush was sucking.
