Notes - Feeling pretty good today.  Picked up Jill and the kids at the airport back from their trip to Disneyland pretty late last night, but had the ability to sleep in because I knew the kids would be, which they did.  So had a nice long warm up, body felt good, decided to try a few low rep 24kg TGUs and TK PR to see how they felt.  Actually felt great, including the TK PR.  Really focused on tensing the glutes, pressing with the lats, not the arms.  This is the feeling on the PR that I need to replicate when standing, doing single or double presses.  Really critical for me to get that feeling of tensed glutes and pressing from the lats.  As I continue to experiment during this time period, I am definitely really focused on doing things that feel good and not doing anything that feels "bad."  The TK PR is the way to go for now I think to get some pressing practice in while continuing to recuperate and get completely healthy.  Likewise I think the DB FSQ is another great movement to practice during this time, so I am going to keep working those.  Focus is going to be on low rep, grinds, staying away from ballastics and definitely staying away from anything in general high rep.  Form and technique has to be spot on.
