8:00am - Complete

Notes - Pretty good.  Sore from a deep tissue massage yesterday evening which included a discovery I think regarding the low back / oblique / hip stuff I have been working through on the left side. The Semimembranosus or  Deep medial hamstring was extremely sensitive and tight.  Hamstring stuff contributing to what I have been feeling. Not surprised as I am constantly wanting to stretch them.  I am redoubling my efforts and focusing on this.  Swings were strong today, up to the 24kg this week, felt good.  3 reps each side on the TGUs with the 24kg was sufficient and I was pressed for time, so cut it short of the 5 reps each side.  Not necessarily a bad idea anyway because I have not been repping with the 24kg on the TGUs, and it's better to get good slow reps and build up again.  My overhead position on the R side is really excellent, L, while very much improved from a couple of months ago, always needs attention.  I will keep working it.
