Snatches

Received my new 24kg kettelbell on Thursday.  Sanded down the handle to smooth steel and waxed with paraffin last night.  Also did some shoulder mobility work last night.  Very excited about the doubles work that can now begin!

Worked out early today to avoid the heat.  Was still in the mid 80's and humid at 0900.

24kg snatches 5L/5R/5L/5R  x 6 sets - 20 seconds rest between sets
24kg see-saw presses 20 yards x 4 sets

Snatches felt great.  Really been focusing on catching the handle in the "hook" grip on the descent in order to preserve the hands.   Today was my best effort.  For the first time my hands aren't dog meat and I think I could snatch tomorrow if I had to.
