Notes - Writing this on Tuesday morning  OK this is huge I think. Feeling better.  Long walk around Greenlake on Sunday, and I have gotten back into doing some Pain Free exercises for the hips / low back / shoulders as a "cool down" before bed. Mainly the supine groin stretch which has been big for me at times in the past when I have dealt with mobility issues / soft tissue problems.  I did this again last night (it takes 45 minutes to an hour and basically it's a restful period right before bed, almost like sleeping) and it is absolutely helping.  Getting some muscle spasms and things are definitely changing, it's like things are finally calming down and some muscles are being allowed to release.  The training session on Monday went very well, very strong reps, really, really feeling it in the glutes as opposed to low back which is great.  Technique is getting dialed in, better starting position, and just all in all, some good work here.  I am very encouraged and just planning on keeping this up.
