Notes - Cool training day today.  I enjoyed it very much.  Did some TGUs with the 28kg, overhead position felt good, best it has felt in weeks and this is with a heavier weight than I have used for TGUs in quite some time (it has been months since I used anything above a 24kg).  I was extremely pleased, the arm bars and other thoracic work I think are helping slowly but surely.  The movement was strong as well from improved technique I honed at the SFG weekend.  This is good.  2H SW ladders were great.  That bell was really moving - my swing technique has definitely improved.  Using the lats better, better extension and finishing with the hips at the top of each rep, letting the bell float.  I surprised myself here a bit because every bell felt nearly the same - the 36kg was almost as powerful and as crisp as the 28kg.  Despite a 30% increase in weight.  That's pretty cool.  The finish with suitcase carries was good.  I like mixing 2H movements or double bell movements with 1H or 1 bell work in the same session.
