6/2/14 Monday June 2, 2014 (OS, PM, KB warmup)

7:45am - Original Strength and Primal Move - 75 minutes (tons and tons of time on the lacrosse ball trying to get trigger points released)

9:00 am - Kettlebell warm up

1/2K halos - 8kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
1/2K halos - 12kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
16kg Roll to press (TGU start) - shoulder cam shafts, each arm

Arm bar 8 kg, 5+5 (this is the main thing I ended up doing)

9:15am - Complete

Notes -  Well I am not going to lie, I am pissed off and frustrated.  Body is not responding all that great, 3rd day in a row I woke up feeling terrible, just so tight and a little painful in the lower trap, whole R shoulder complex is affected.  It seems I have stirred up an old body pattern from a long time ago that is a real problem for me, and everything is reacting.  I decided just to try and do some releases on the lacrosse ball, which helps, and got some chiro this morning, got several good adjustments including one at the base of my neck on the R side which as an "aha" moment.  I have body work / acupuncture scheduled for this afternoon, and trying to get a deep massage this week. Looks like this is going to turn into a rest week, just trying to get the body right again.  It's tough mentally but I will come out of this and get it figured out.  Worst thing I can do is stress out about it.  Instead, I need to embrace this as part of the process of getting stronger. Sometimes this is how you actually take some steps forward when it seems like you are taking steps back.
