Notes - What a difference a week makes, and a focus on mobility and moving well.  Man when things are not going quite right with the body, you have to make changes and do something different.  Focusing on moving well is critical to everything and certainly to performance.  I have really turned a corner here the last couple of days after focusing on these hip drills from Pain Free.  More to go, but this is very encouraging.  I have really been able to get my R hip to sit down, calm down, and I can tell it has impacted a lot of other tightness I had greatly.  So much so that I was able to nail another PR today with the 28kg snatch, 90 reps in 10 minutes for 9 solid sets of 5/5.  This is a real accomplishment for me and I am very excited about it.  Next Wed will be an opportunity to snatch the 32kg for the first time, doing I think doubles to start, and just seeing how that goes.  Great stuff.
