Single leg dead lifts were a fun new task. Tough on balance. I also really noticed that it was harder on my right than my left. My right hip/butt/piriformis area would just burn and get tight, the left side felt strong. Balance was better on the left too. TnG deadlifts got really heavy the last 2 sets. Again, a little strain in the right hip area, nothing sharp or painful though. It's always way more inflexible when I stretch too. I LOVED the 100 DB snatches! I cannot tell you what a learning experience it was. Such a revelation really :). Here's how it went: the first 20 felt heavy and I was seriously considering going down in weight because I couldn't imagine making it to 100. But I didn't, just kept plucking away and trying to use my hips more. Somewhere around 40 I was starting to figure out how to dip under it, like a power snatch vs. a muscle snatch. And by 60 I had that down. And honestly, after that, it felt like the weight was getting lighter! I had a few that I just pulled wrong that were tough but for the most part it felt good toward the end and like I really improved, figured out some efficiencies. It was fun, thanks!
