7/24/15 Friday July 24, 2015 (training with Kevin)

5:30am - OS resets, halos with an 8k and 12kg bell

6:00am - Great day today.  It has been some time since Kevin and I trained together, and this was nice.  We worked on the following

Arm bars 16kg - getting the technique down again, I have been doing these but felt they could be improved.  Making sure the shoulder is packed, and a little rotation externally to further get into position.  These were good, I can get this feeling consistently.

TGUs 16kg - much more solid, these felt pretty damn good.  Kevin gave me a nice cue on the roll to elbow, by starting with my forearm vertical instead of laying on the ground.  It helps to jam the elbow into the ground to start the roll.  I liked it.  He also gave me a cue with the bell overhead with both legs on the ground, before starting the leg sweep.  Good tips.

GSq 16kg - felt good, Kevin gave me a cue to not make this "two movements" which I was a little bit by trying to hip hinge initially and sit back, then descend.  We fixed this in about 2 reps, started really hitting the groove.  Good reminder cue to pull the knees to the chest.

supersets -
DB 16kg SS PR
2H SW 24kg
DB 16kg FSQ

All of these movements felt really good, did a few different sets.

Plan is to do a week with 16s, then next week 20s, then third week, 24s.  This is going to be a good progression.  Also just going to try some light snatches with the 16kg.  Big cycle coming up to see if I can get through some barriers.
