Notes -  Kind of a blah day really.  The 24kg was way too heavy for SL DLs.  I had only brought the 24kg outside and didn't want to go back in and drag out a more appropriate bell, which honestly probably is a 12kg.  This is a super awkward movement - which is why I need to practice it - I know that much.  Body did not feel good after, my right oblique was very tight, no surprise as that is an area that gets affected from time to time.  I think SL DL work, if done with lower weights at first and refined technique, can actually be a great exercise for me.  On the other hand all of the swings felt great and there seems to be no lingering effect at all on my L wrist from the one shitty clean I had during yesterdays' heavy press session.  So - there are always positives.
