10/14/15 Wednesday October 14, 2015 (Spokane, coaching soccer)

I flew to Spokane late on Tuesday evening, plane delayed on the tarmac in Seattle, then we had to get out and switch planes.  Went to bed after 1pm, certainly not great.  Tried to do various mobility movements before bed, particularly really trying to target the hamstrings which are way tight, as are hips, that is clearly the culprit before with the left hip stuff and am sure it is again.  Squatting on Monday and Tuesday, in the hindsight, maybe not the greatest idea ever as I am probably just slowing getting used to squatting again.  With that said, very surprised today that my body seemed to be bouncing back throughout the day and felt good for soccer practices for my kids from 5-7pm, moving around well, that was very nice to experience.  Also, since Monday morning, the stuff with the left shoulder / bicep and elbow on the L side has significantly dissipated.  I would say as per my earlier training notes, pull-ups really are exacerbating those issues right now so I think I was on point to avoid them for now and keep working on getting this stuff sorted, will add them back in very, very slowly later.  Good to see that KB 2H SW, cleans, and FSQ don't seem to really be causing any issues with that stuff, so that is encouraging.  Was thinking some bottoms up work with single or double reps, lighter weights, might be a nice option to try a bit.  More hamstring work planned tonight before bed.  In any event, nice to see some improvement today.  I probably just need some damn rest.  We filed the Costco annual audit report on Tuesday with the SEC and its been a pretty crazy six week sprint to the finish.
