* Notes:

- Great workout which was nearly flawless.  The missed snatch at 85kg was due to prematurely trying to dive into the catch.  Otherwise, all my other lifts were successful, even with a slight forward step on a few.  Nevertheless, lifts aren't graded by aesthetics and how beautiful the lift is executed; instead, it's all based upon performance and I was very happy with mine today.

- Snatch pulls were easy and very high.  I felt exceptionally powerful; yet, the weight was fairly easy.  I'll be interested to see how the feel tomorrow when I take them from the blocks.

- Dynamic-Effort back squats went well, but I started to get a little winded towards the 6-7th set.  Nevertheless, I pushed through without any major issues.  I'm becoming a fan of the DE days because it provides a semi-rest/recovery day.
