So, I am walking back into Stones a humble man, ready and willing to learn from one of the best!

Overall I felt good today, but I realize that mountain biking hard the day before a big DL is not smart. I will be much more fresh for next weeks session. Rif did bring up a couple great points (already paying off being back): keep the scapula over the bar and get my chest into the lift so i am not left having to lift with my back when my legs have finished the move. And of course any time we talk strategy around percentage lifting I always come out smarter.
So Rif suggested that I save my big Snatch day for another day when I can train fresh. This makes total sense. So instead today I focused on some basic

Awesome day! I am a smarter and better trainer because of today, that is worth its weight in gold
