Notes - Writing this on late Sunday evening in NJ after traveling the last several days, first to the San Juan Islands with the kids on Thursday/Friday and then on the plane to NJ on Saturday afternoon.  It's been busy.  Have been noticing a bit of L lower back / oblique stuff again the last several days, it's been a difficult stretch in terms of traveling, just being out of the normal routine.  I continue to think that a decent bit of this stuff is actually related to my L shoulder, the one I fell on hard several times years ago and that I have less ROM and strength when compared to my R.  I think something has been up since doing double jerk work in April and then getting the setbacks.  I suspect that doing things that are focused on stability for that shoulder are really going to help things and I think I need to re-focus on this with certain mobility work, drills from Kinetics, and some Turkish Getups with lighter weights in particular which I have not been doing.  I need to get stability and good positon in the OH position.  When at Kinetics on Wed Michael had me press a 16kg bell overhead and then squat down (Sots press).  He was very pleased with how I moved, a lot of improvements, but I am not satisfied and really doing this with the bell in the L hand overhead was extremely hard for me.  I need to speak with Kevin and figure out what is going on here and really drill down on this weakness and make it a strength.  There is something to this.  Walking feels very good, mobility work feels very good.  I am going to be focusing on various Original Strength movements and just trying to take this week to keep things moving forward, in the face of what will be high-stress on this work project.  Now is not the time to push anything and I don't plan on it.  Had a really nice time today meeting my brother Nick in NJ and we went into NYC and saw a ton of places, had two nice meals, and it was just great to connect again.  That's really what it's all about at the end of the day - family, and friends, spending time with people that you love, and that love you back.  This other shit takes care of itself if you keep your eye on the big picture.
