75 total 2H SW (backed off to 5 sets, felt like enough)

10:50am - Complete

Notes - .Long weekend.  Lots of holiday party stuff - Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights and it definitely has caught up with me.  Took my time today and got a very good session in and felt strong, but certainly needing to recover now for several days.  The groove on the press continues to improve.  I am very pleased with the progress here and as I have said a number of times, I can see this going on for some time if it make sense.  This has been very good.  L shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist - didn't notice a thing at all.  Seems like that is improving too, the consistent soft tissue work and adjusting training a little bit have been smart.  I think I can now go to some 1H SW but need to start lighter than what I was doing - 20kg over the weekend was easy, no issues.  I can start working in some 24kg 1H SW work I believe.  Need to build that slow to make sure it is all going ok.

Notes - Good training session, I was pleased with how this worked out.  A little greasing the groove on the squat movement with double bells and not too heavy.  Same with the 1H SW.  A different set of movements than what I have been training during the week.  Backing off on the weekends has been a good idea.
