Notes - I could practically write the same notes as I had last week.  Really tight today.  I did a stretch holding the 16kg behind my back with 2H for about 2 minutes, it really helped.  I need to keep doing this.  Once I got mobilized I felt good.  I went out and moved quickly and ended up really having a great training session, and felt better than before I started.  Nailed 80 reps of the 28kg by going on the minute for 10 minutes at a 4/4 pace.  Really great reps, strong, good pauses, very good lockouts.  This is a better thing for me when snatching, to not really be racing but working on technique.  This was very encouraging. Looking to get some soft tissue work done this week to help some of the tightness.

Notes - Really tight today again.  R side lat, pec is tight, hip is tight.   It's all connected.  The mobility work definitely helped but this single bell work and the new movements certainly has attributed to some tightening up.  I think it brings out some of my asymmetries.  This is not a bad thing mind you, just need to keep working through it.  Going to try and find time for soft tissue work this week.
