Notes - Feeling good today and this was a quick and well-paced training session. Body felt good. Left wrist and elbow have been feeling just a little bit tight, I think the one-arm swings on Monday were tough as I am not used to those. After training today I had a massage which was great and my masseuse worked on my hand and some tendons in the wrist, both hands, which was great. This is very good recovery work given how hard KB training can be on the grip, wrist, and forearm muscles. I need to keep up the solid recovery work, I think this has been pretty key to my solid gains here in training for the last several months. Balancing enough training to make gains with sufficient recovery is something I need to continue to focus on. The recent lesson I had on a weekend a few weeks ago where pull-ups didn't feel great, given all of the other overhead work that is in my training program currently, was another reminder to just be thoughtful and push where appropriate, but not to the point of doing something stupid. At 38 I need to be doing things that are adding to my health and not taking anything away. All in all, another one in the books today and a good one at that.
