Notes -  Kind of an interesting day today. I woke up with a somewhat stiff neck and attributed it to sleeping a new pillow last night, and realized it was a pretty crap pillow with a lack of support.  Just went out and bought a new (another new) pillow with more support to nip that in the bud.  Took a long time to warm up as a result which was a bit annoying.  I was blazing pretty good on the DB complex work but felt my L trap stiffen up on the L side on DB SQ around 10 minutes in. I tried to loosen it a bit and that helped, then just concentrated on technique from there.  I tested it a bit more and it was ok, just noticed a little tightness, so I tested a snatch or two, did some snatch holds, and then snatched.  Oddly enough the snatching went very well this week, didn't notice the trap at all, and really keep a controlled, even pace all the way through 4 minutes, finishing each 10/10 basically on the minute so perfect pacing.  The last minute though I said fuck it I want this done and finished it quickly with 15 seconds left.  Maybe next time I can pace it all the way out but I just didn't want to today the fatigue got to me.  Still, the improvement is good.  I scheduled a deep tissue massage for this afternoon though because this trap / neck thing is not something I want to linger at all, I want to get this loosened up and treated right away.  I don't think this is going to be a big deal but something to watch.  Tomorrow is active rest so having a rest day is perfect.
