The first time I tried the set of two at 165 I missed. I knew I should've had it, so I took a longer rest, tried again and nailed it easily. This is a nice milestone, as 165 is a bit more than bodyweight at the moment.

Levering:
2.5lbs on the broken sleeve of my barbell, 3x3 forward and back

24kg snatch:
10-8-6-4-4 L/R

1 minute rest after each set L/R

Edit:
A couple of things that I wanted to mention but forgot to...

1: I ordered a bar
2: I have been doing a bit of bending. Over the past couple of day I have killed multiple 5" lengths of 1/4" CRS. I had been made to understand that CRS is much harder than HRS, but I can barely notice a difference. It is a little harder, but still goes down every time.
