Snatching felt good today, even in my shoulders.  I stayed light though and worked on 'the finish' as Burgener calls it.  Split jerk just feels so easy.  I did those 5 reps at 145 totally solid.  Back squats were light but I can feel myself getting used to the new position and some strength gain.  My speed may even be picking up.  Squat jumps were uneventful.  I already emailed to share my excitement about the T2B which I realize does not earn me any accolades.  But it was very exciting for it to have finally clicked and feel really good.  Actually, probably less effort and fatigued than the crappy double kip way I was doing it.  Double unders were fine, I did sets of 15.  And never tripped up.  If I could just learn to breathe while I do them and relax my shoulders I'd be golden.  I stop to catch my breath.  That's all. Thanks!
