Notes - Excellent. Was feeling a little beat up at in the evening yesterday, but did some foam rolling and lacrosse ball work, focusing on my lats and shoulders.  Really loosened up the L shoulder which probably took a little bit of a pounding with the heavy pressing Monday, etc. etc.  But it responded really well.  Overhead was strong today, TGUs felt really good.  Excellent.

Notes - Damn it, another PR.  WTF.  Two weeks ago did this, 12 sets of 4.  14 today.  Got one more rep in than last week with sets of 5 where I did 11 of those.  This is fucking awesome.  Cleans off the ground were really strong to start the DB SW, DB SW the best it has ever felt.  My grip has improved immensely, I can really tell, it makes these easier, I feel like I can get the bell a lot deeper in my hand, and create more power while also being more stable.  Going from a DB SW into a CL is an awesome feeling man when you do it crisply and you do it right.  Squats were solid today, am trying to search for that feeling of being pulled down or pulling down into the hole every single time; when I do that I can really feel a stable base.  I am really enjoying this right now.  It will be good in a few weeks to change things up, but this is excellent right now.  Also continuing to notice improvements in OH mobility with the focus on arm bars, crooked arm bars, getting in a solid get up or two every day, and holding that OH position.  Time to rest and recover before DB CL and FSQ on Friday:)
