Notes - So cool today.  So I slept in longer than I wanted, but felt good.  Quick warm up, ready to go.  I cannot emphasize enough how good it is to be able to shorten the warm up periods and just feel ready to hit the main training for each day.  This is an extremely positive development, it is as good as gaining in strength which I also have been experiencing.  It means my recovery is better and probably means the movements I have been working on are good for me, not causing undue tension, tight spots etc.  All good things. As far as the training goes because I was compressed for time, I had even more focus than usual and did not take much rest between movements or the two sets.  Technique was very strong all the way to the end.  This is the best practice session I have had this week or last.  I really, really enjoy these DB 24kg complex sessions.  Great stuff.  One thing I will say is I have had one hell of an appetite lately, and I have been feeding the beast so to speak.  Adding some size is totally fine by me.  I think I am around 200 lbs and I think as long as I continue training smart and staying lean, I could carry 210 lbs and it would not be a bad thing at all.
