9:30am- Training session - 20kg CL/PR ladders, 32kg 2H SW

9 CL, 9 PR each arm (light day, up from 1/1 last week)

15 minutes:
32kg 2H SW, go until form degrades, rest

Didn't count reps, but it was tough, I pushed the bell speed on each set pretty hard.  I did take some fairly long rests, but that allowed me to keep the bell speed very high on every rep.

10:00am - Complete

Notes - Very good day, particularly swinging the 32kg.  I like where things are going.  Definitely working through some real tight muscles on the R side in the trap, mid back and lat, as well as bicep, but it's ok.  I just need to keep working mobility.  I know that 1 arm presses in the past have somewhat led to this pattern, where the R side tightens up a bit, not totally sure why, but it's very manageable and to me just a sign that things are changing and moving around.  I am really pleased with the power I am generating with my swing practice, it's very good.  I think that is helping my glutes and low back a lot, with other added benefits to the whole body.  It's really a mistake for me to get too far away from making sure I am consistently incorporating some swing practice into my training.  It's that good for me.
