Notes - Great stuff.  I slept in, wanted a little more recovery overnight from yesterday's sprinting / pull ups etc. and that was a good idea.  I did the FMS drills Kevin recommended, belly breathing, quite a bit of soft tissue work with the foam roll and lacrosse ball as I was tight from yesterday's work as expected, t-spine, some 1/2 kneeling drills and then got into some OS resets as well.  I had the time and the mobility work is something I just cannot cut back on too much.  I wish I could just get right into training but I simply need quite a bit of mobility work, has always seemed to be the case since I got into KBs a couple of years ago, and I think it's a reflection of years of neglect due to ignorance and combating my job and everyday life with its stresses and lots of sitting / computer work.  Thank God I have learned quite a bit the last several years and educated myself with a lot of additional reading.  In any event I knew waking up today was not going to be a DB 24kg day for the complex, though in the back of my mind I wanted to go for it.  I didn't.  What's the point.  Instead I focused on various drills, did do some TGUs to the knee with the 24kg, it felt heavy enough lol, and confirmed that today was going to be mainly work with the 20kgs.  I added 5 minutes to the timer and did the complex for 20 minutes instead of 15, so got a little extra volume in a controlled manner with weights that I can more than handle capably.  Felt really good, particularly the presses today interestingly enough. Good overhead mobility, arms very close to the head in lockout, and a very smooth motion with those.  Nice.  Going to do some light drills tomorrow, some 2H deadlifts with heavier bells, some hike/swing/park, maybe a little jump rope, a recovery day.  For Wed I am thinking hit it with the DB 24kgs for a FSQ-focused workout, and see how that goes.  Recovery Thursday, Friday, try the DB 24kgs again assuming Wed goes well, and I recover, and focus that one instead on pressing using the Push Press to take some pressure off the grinding and use the legs a bit more.  I think Wed I will go 15 minutes on DB CL to FSQ, with a rep scheme 2, 3, 5 on the FSQ.  Friday 15 minutes DB CL 2, PPR 3, FSQ 1.  Obviously lots of recovery and other mobility drills come first.
