Writing this on Sunday evening after spending the weekend in Portland for my 20th high school reunion. It was one hell of a time and I am so glad I went. 20 years, class of 1995. That's unbelievable. So many things have happened in my life since then but at the same time seeing my classmates, it was like I was a senior in high school yesterday with my entire life ahead of me. Crazy stuff.
I did some training on Saturday morning at my parent's house. Very low key, with a focus on mobility work. Dropping pull-ups for some time now and working on other things.
45 minutes of mobility work, OS resets, primal move, halos, arm bars, get-ups with a 16kg.
16kgs DB SW, 10 minutes
Did sets of 10, probably about 10, so 100 reps. First time I have done doubles in some time. Felt good except for my TFL on the left side was acting up a bit due to the wide stance. I now know more about the TFL after receiving a massage today when I got back from my trip, and we worked on this a bunch. It's a primary cause of the issues I have been working through. So I am thinking probably no double bell swings for now, stay away from a wide stance, will just go with single bell swings (1H and 2H). The narrower stance for single bell pressing is also going to work well. I think that's the plane to work at this point and I will re test double bells in a week or two weeks.

Great weekend overall. After the massage, noting again that the elbow stuff is really clearing up which is extremely encouraging. Basically wasn't an issue the entire week. Really happy about that.
