Notes - An interesting day.  Struggling through some elbow issues for sure.  I was doing some mobility work late last night, and lacrosse ball release, both things are helping.  I was laying on the floor and just realized I was really, really tired.  Reflecting today, I am probably running things too hot, work has been incredibly busy, I am coaching both of the kids' soccer teams, and I am low on recovery from my KB and body-weight work.  Was really hitting a very productive period of time with training but on the whole, probably overcooked the turkey here.  What is absolutely in order here is a step back, reset on focusing on mobility particularly I am going to do some shoulder and elbow exercises from my Pain Free book that has helped me in the past, get in some rest this week, and check out where I am at in a week.  KB work is good but it should be light and support these objectives.  I definitely need to calm down the elbows and get back to normal here.  And it's mostly the L elbow, no surprise, I am 100% certain this is coming really from the shoulder, hot spots there, this is my old shoulder injury yet again cropping up.  Also definitely the L bicep tendon is tight and it's part of the issue too.  Issues in the elbows are typically coming from the shoulder even though mine feel fine.  The Pain Free exercises will help. Good news is, my hinge is back, glutes are fired up, issues with the low back / obliques have really been run aground.  That's great and I want to keep that going.  Will run all of this by Kevin.
