Notes -  Interesting day.  So I was up earlier than I have been due to work though this is frankly when I should be training, so I need to get back in that groove of time.  However I took forever to get loose - was very tight I think mainly from running 3-4 miles Sunday even more than Monday's 28 kg complex session.  Once I got into the main training though as you can see I ran into issues after 12 minutes and had to drop down some reps so I did not sacrifice quality.  I did feel my technique was better than last week, so that was good.  Really tried to root hard on those presses.  I need to dominate this weight and I am staying at 24 kgs for this complex until I dominate 10 sets of 3/3/3 and have plenty of gas left in the tank.

Had a huge appetite today and ate like a horse.

Need to get loose and spend more time with Primal Move in the morning and night.  Have mainly been doing OS resets which are great but some of the PM stuff I think will help with this tightness.
