7/26/13 Friday July 26, 2013 (training with Kevin)

Slept in before training with Kevin - did absolutely nothing to warm up.  The night before I was out late with my co workers so it was good to sleep a little bit more.  I have been consistently getting in my Original Strength resets as well as Primal Move warmups, and the body felt really good actually.  Finally after one week the running I had done in Spokane seems to have finally gone away in terms of tightness on the R hip, psoas, calf, ankle etc.

6:40am - Training session with Kevin.  Little bit of a bunch of stuff here.  Did some FMS tests on my right ankle and then hip following up on the tightness I noticed from running in Spokane a week ago.  Eventually we moved to some foam rolling on my quads, laying on my stomach and going into a plank, as well as inner thigh to the knee.  That seemed to help and Kevin suspects it is more of a tissue thing than something with mobility per se.  Interesting.  I will do some more foam rolling and see if that helps.

We moved into doing some kettlebell work, a few TGUs, learned the Arm Bar (again after 18 months) which was good.  We did some 2H SW, did some clean and presses, did a complex with DB CL, to DB PR, to DB Sq which was awesome.  Then I snatched with the 16, 20, and then 24.  Kevin liked what he saw.

Going to move into some different programming coming up, going to PR from DB PR, doing that complex for some armor building, and then snatching ladders to get comfortable with the 24 for reps.  It should be awesome and I look forward to the changes.

7:50am - Finish

Great session, I continue to learn a lot from Kevin.
