7:25am - Complete

Notes - Good solid session.  Was extremely tight from doing a pretty tough training session on Monday, incorporating some PR back into the routine.  After finishing these TGUs I felt great.  Reps with the 24 were very, very solid,  Really focused as well on wrapping up around the bell and really getting a crush grip, same thing I have been doing on the PR, and keeping the elbow straight.  I don't see a need yet to move back up to the 28, let's get in some more volume with the 24 and make it "easy" for reps without putting the bell down, and then the 28 comes back in.

7:30am - Complete

Notes - This session was prescribed by Kevin and was a great one.  Really loved pressing.  I focused on really crushing the grip and squeezing the hell out of my glutes to create a "seat" for pressing.  Got these techniques from Geoff Neupert's KB Strong and particularly the glute tension is hugely helpful for the PR.  I could have done a lot more volume but this was just fine.  This is probably the most G Sq I have ever done as I really don't do them other than a couple in the warm up most days.  They were feeling good and I was getting deep into the hole for sure (pulling down), and felt a lot of power coming out of the hole.  Lastly felt a lot of power with the SW.  R is a little crisper and more powerful than the left, not a surprise, but the L is coming along.
