5/23/14 Friday May 23, 2014 (training with Kevin)

Checked my training log and I last trained with Kevin on April 25- about a month ago.

Was out very late for a large work event, got very little sleep, probably only about 4 hrs.  Been burning it pretty hard lately with work travel, etc.  Going to be good to get some sleep over this holiday weekend for Memorial Day.

6:30am - Training session with Kevin.  We focused on a bunch of different things today.  Warmed up with some OS and some crawling.  TGUs with a high bridge on the roll to elbow, and then full bridge, which should be good to keep trying to untie any knots or asymmetries between the hips, ankles etc. We did some pull-ups to test how my pull-up was looking.  Used the 24kgs for everything today.  We did some 2H SW, then 1H SW, did some snatching.  Did some DB CL, DB SQ, DB PR.  Everything looked good to Kevin, a few small tips here and there.  Cleaning to the hip and not the chest to help prevent any banging or crashing of the bells in the rack.  DB SQ, focus on sitting back just a little bit and eliminating any potential butt wink, I am way below parallel so maybe stop just a little higher than I have been to eliminate the butt wink.  DB PR, used a closer stance today, that was very helpful, these were strong.  Finished with practicing some crocodile breathing which should help again with the hips, asymmetries, improve strength in lifts. Also practicing some toe pulls against the wall for mobilizing ankles.

7:50am -  Good day.  Looking forward to a little rest and then resuming a good 3-week cycle of training.
