Notes - Felt great today.  Slept in a bit, well rested.  Overhead mobility was in good shape again, keep checking this through the arm bars, TGUs, I like the improvements I am seeing and feeling.  I want to keep this up so I can move to trying to learn some new movements like the windmill, bent press, and jerk which are going to demand that I keep developing and improving my thoracic mobility.  This was a clear need for improvement throughout my SFG weekend and I feel that I have been making some real good progress.  It's interesting I have not been snatching, I do think snatching can be a challenge in tightening me up.  A key test will be to try and incorporate some snatching as appropriate in the next cycle and try to continue this mobility progress.  In any event, got into the training today and was able to achieve yet another PR.  Man.  I had 30 seconds left at the end and had an opportunity for a few more reps, but made a mental note to leave something in the tank especially as I had just nailed some good reps on my 11th set.  Save something for another day.  I love training this way.
