Notes -  This was a very good training session, now working on some new things for the next several weeks on a new program from Kevin.  I have not done see saw pressing in a long, long time, probably back to early March so at least 9 months.  I will say I am a hell of a lot stronger than I was in March and it was obvious to me today.  I was really rooting into the ground, good glute tension, quads tight and the presses were just going up pretty easily with double 24s.  This is one of my favorite movements and it was great to practice it again.  I could have pushed harder but went by feel on the first set and it felt like 4/4 would be just right to stay away from failure.  Aimed for anywhere between 32 and 40 reps per side and ending with 36 was a good first effort.  After the see saw pressing I took a few minutes of rest and then banged out 5 minutes of 10/10 1H SW with the 32 kg, which was cool.  I was huffing for the last two sets, but was able to maintain good form, kept telling myself to get the bell back on the descent and use my hips, not worrying about how high the bell was going but just keeping things strong and snappy which the swings were.  Good stuff.  I still felt some muscle fatigue and DOMs in my lats, traps, obliques and abs from doing some pull ups on Saturday for the first time in forever, so for this session to go as well as it did was pretty awesome.
