First day of a 3-week Olympic lifting phase. This is designed to practice my technique and add some numbers to my 1RM's. Today's workout felt good. Hard but good. It's going to be interesting as I slowly add weight each workout. Next session, on Sunday, will start off 2.5kgs heavier on the first set of 5 reps. So Clean & Press (which is a strict press) will start at 41kgs, Snatch at 50.5kgs and Clean & Jerk at 66kgs.

My back is feeling better after a few days off and some physio, including acupuncture in some muscles in spasm.
