Notes - Good session today.  Felt strong, got a little more rest last night.  A couple of things on the presses.  I started with the stronger arm, R, and noticed a challenge getting the last rep on the ladders of 4 on the L side, I was doing hand switches between arms and not setting the bell down (which was cool).  So for the last set I started with the L and then went to the R, which was good.  With that said on the very last rep of the set on the R, I really had to grind it out - got the rep, but perhaps at a bit of a price as my R trap is pretty tight now / R pec too - definitely a little strained.  This has been a trouble spot both in the trap and in the front on my R pec / neck which I have been working on through arm bars, other mobility etc.  I finished the DB SW, no issues at all with those, and then tried to do some mob, lacrosse ball etc.  I actually had an appointment for a massage today anyway so the timing is good, and I also decided to get an appt tomorrow with my acupuncturist/bodyworker to get some more treatment done.  Going to work on that stuff and see how I feel on Friday, hopefully much better and up for the 5 minute snatch test.  I do need to get this area loosened up and feeling better anyway, I can tell it has been tougher to get the R arm lockout then left side and it is due to this restriction.  Again the arm bars are helping a lot but I think I need some greater focus and possibly additional mob work on this area.
