* Notes:

- Thanks to Aaron Akins of for allowing our weekend weightlifting group to meet up and lift at Maximum Performance today.  We had a solid showing with AJ Redzensky, Jonathan Schleicher, Ian Moore, Steve Charland, and Brice Trudo.  Furthermore, I somehow managed to PR a 120kg push press.  I made three attempts at 125kg and they progressively got better but not quite good enough to finish the final three inches of the press to lockout the weight.  It will come in due time.  I'm still trying to develop the necessary strength and technique on this troublesome movement.

- I tried something new today and it worked like a charm.  I believe it will work even better if I run two separate bars at the same time, but I wanted to wave back and forth between the snatch deadlift + hang snatch extension and the clean deadlift + hang clean extension.  The reasoning was to practice both hand positions for pulling while maximizing on my time.  This resulted in making my snatch deadlifts ridiculously easy due to the heavier clean deadlifts.  Therefore, next time, I plan on running two bars and I'll give updates on it's effectiveness.
