Notes: First time squatting and doing Oly work at home in the garage with Amanda. It definitely had a "Rocky, No-frills" feel to it. No music...just the sound of clannging iron, grunting and heavy breathing...I kind of liked it. 

Also first time doing some legit snatch work. Everything felt great. really worked on changing directions in the middle and pulling/punching under the bar. Worked up to 140#. It felt easy and I wanted to go higher, but decided to table it for now and take baby steps. May work up to 155# next time. Not in any hurry. 

Going to work some clean work next time. My bumpers, bar and KBs ought to be in by next Monday or Tuesday. Until then For it will all be hang work.
