2/7/15 Saturday February 7, 2015 (pull-ups, push-ups, walk)

Got this work done late Saturday afternoon / evening.  After a seriously heavy week of lifting, I thought about waiting a day and doing it on Sunday, but just decided to bang it out as I felt pretty good and knew it was going to be pretty hard on the lats either day:)

Longer walk - 30 minutes

Total pull-ups - 24, up 1 from last week.  25 push-ups, same as last week.  Was very pleased with this as the two sets of 6 went pretty well.  Challenging, for sure, but I cleaned and squatted yesterday at a fairly intense intensity (for me) and the lats were pushed.  Just messing with a couple of pistol squats to see how they feel, not all that great.  The flexed leg usually cramps up, and my lower back feels fatigued - not pain, just definitely noticing all of the heavy squatting has the muscles fatigued and not yet recovered on the weekends.  It's fine, not a big deal.  It's good to know I still have very good mobility in this movement despite all of the squatting and my glutes and quads putting on some size.  I can really get down into the hole in the squat, ass to grass, in a very safe way and it's important to me to be able to maintain this.  This is easily one of the most significant mobility improvements I have been able to make using kettlebells the last several years, and its awesome to be able to move like that.
