    25 KB Swings                          (40lb)

  Snatches still feel awkward and weak. I suspect that it's because of needing to do power snatches, as well as not being able to move the feet at any point. The knees are really screwing with the mechanics of this lift. I may have to just switch to KB/dumbbell snatches. I'll think on it. It'd be good to switch up just for variety of movement, anyway.

  I'm a bit surprised that I'm still able to drop 10lb of assisted-weight on the pullups weekly, but that may just be from still being in the initial newb-curve of quick, early results from getting back into workouts.

I think that I'm seeing visible bodily slimming and strength gains. I could do a weekly weighing, I suppose, but it kind of goes against the grain to be worried about weight & scales. Would be nice to see some tangible, concrete effects, though. It's a little over 1 1/2 months now, so I guess that's a reasonable time to be seeing some results.  :/
