Notes -   Wow very interesting last couple of days.  Tightness in my R neck, scalenes, lat has dramatically decreased.  Low back has felt great.  Had a weird soreness in my L forearm and wrist the last few days.  These changes I think are from some of the ART work that Michael at Kinetics has done the last couple of sessions, particularly yesterday.  I think the various rehab work etc. is honestly bringing out some stuff with my L shoulder, which is the shoulder I took two hard falls on years ago and I know creates some asymmetries that I have to work through.  This whole time working through rehab I have felt that the overhead KB work particularly double jerks may have put just a bit too much load on my L shoulder, and other body parts compensated for it (because m L shoulder never bothered me, never noticed an issue at all).  Some of the rehab work and other positions, the L shoulder feels weaker than I would like, and certainly when rolling it on the foam roll and doing other things, it "clicks" at times.  I think all of this is good of course, bringing some of this stuff up to the surface.  I'd like to talk to Kevin about doing some light shoulder stability work for the shoulders again, in the overhead position, to start trying to build that up again.  Getups may be the answer.

Late evening  - Indian Clubs, 5 minutes

Notes - Outstanding day.  This training went extremely, extremely well and better yet I felt great all day.  Dropping to the 24kg was a good idea, now I think I can build on this and try the 28kg on Friday.  Loved getting in some BU FSQ practice and just started light with the 16kg.  Getting better at jumping rope again, smoother, crawling, and the bridges.  It's all good stuff.  Also had a good rehab session at Kinetics in the afternoon and moving forward there.  Progress, just have to stay focused and take it one step at a time.
