June 22- 180 lb. More single jerk training with 28k. Warmed up with 32k: 1m @ 10 rpm. Work set: 10m @ 12 rpm with 28k, hand switch every :30. Stopped at 10, but had more in me. Shoulders and legs felt fine. Pace felt a little fast. Rested a while, then did 10m of swings with 12k @ 33-34 rpm = 330-340 swings. Hand switch on the minute. Did sport style swings, focused on leg drive. Then worked for 4 hours pulling fence. Finally finished it.
