Notes:  Really enjoyable session this morning.  Body was open and I was able to get into a good starting position.  Hit a few really solid reps at 50kg.  Need to remember to be patient off the floor and then explode once the bar gets to mid-thigh.  I liked the deadlifts because they reinforce a good starting position and overload the bottom portion of the movement.  I hope this makes regular snatches feel lighter.  Completed my first week of the push-up program and it felt good.  I hit 16 reps on the last set.  The volume increases quickly on Week 2, but I'm looking forward to it.  Even if I fail, I know that I'm improving on a basic movement that I've struggled with for a long time.  Pull-ups felt awesome and I'm beginning to build volume on the movement.  Will keep hitting these post-workout, along with toes-to-bar, until I'm easily hitting three sets of 25 reps.  At that point, I'll move onto some different rep schemes.
