Notes - Felt shit today.  I did not have to be anywhere this morning so I literally stayed in bed until 10:30 in the morning, which is really, really weird for me.  Not quite sure what to make of that, but if felt like the right thing to do, so I did it.  I suspect my body is just - worn down.  So much to take in for my personal life, work, and the busyness of the holidays.  It probably should not surprise me at all that I had the muscle tweak and spasm yesterday in my trap and neck.  I got a massage last night, that is helpful, but this is going to take some time.  I am seeing my acupunturist / bodyworker today for more treatment.  It doesn't feel good, and that sucks, but it is part of the process.  Thinking back, I was reaching the point of failure in that set of C&P with the 28kg, and even though I grinded out that last rep, I don't think I did it in the safest manner - probably was lifting my shoulder instead of rooting and pressing from the lat.  Too much pressure on the traps, that doesn't even make sense on a press, I need to press from the lat.  So chalk it up to a learning experience.  Once I feel better I am dropping the weight, probably just focus on swings and getups, before moving back into other lifts.  I am definitely going to focus on rest and recovery for the entire next week and try to enjoy this holiday with friends and with my kids.  That is the most important thing right now anyway.
