Notes - Interesting day.  SLDLs with the dumbbells were ok.  I didn't have any box to set the dbs down on, so I went down until the ROM felt like it would be potentially painful to go lower (aka not all the way to the floor).  These aren't nearly as good as kettlebells but it was ok.  I tried front squatting with a bar for the first time in my life.  Interesting. I could not get the bar position quite right (not high enough up on the clavicle / chest, and I don't have the range of motion in my wrists like an Olympic weightlifter so it was challenging.  Next time I might use "bodybuilder" style technique where your cross your arms to hold up the bar.  Going to watch a little YouTube videos to see the technique.  I think it will be easier for me.  Going to try a few reps tomorrow.  Nothing heavy, just trying to get a bit of squatting in.  Body felt pretty good today, going to get some good mobility and a bit of walking in this evening.
