Notes:  Frustrating session.  Wasn't reaching full extension on cleans and struggled with jerk.  Biggest issue right now is resetting the hands during the transition from clean to jerk.  Bar is way up in my fingertips when I rise out of the front squat portion of the clean.  Need to adjust bar back into the palms so I can drive efficiently under the jerk.  Right now, I'm jerking from the fingertips and it's placing a ton of stress on my arms.  Toes-to-bar are coming along nicely, though, so that's a positive sign.  My plan is to do either toes-to-bar or pull-ups after each class for the rest of the year.
