4-5pm - Body work session
Notes - Interesting day. Felt fine in the morning, evening at work, neck etc. on the R side tightened up yet again. For fuck's sake man. Had a body work session with my acupuncturist at 4pm, got massive, massive releases in some muscles in my neck, teres major and minor, and huge releases in my triceps. I mean it was crazy stuff. We talked at length about some of what he was seeing in my body - rotation in the left shoulder, very little movement in the upper thoracic spine, and then these other issues. He thinks my training has possibly gotten too dominant or things are otherwise just off, and some asymmetries are not being corrected and in fact are getting worse. I have some things to think about and to discuss with Kevin to figure out a way going forward that is going to make sense for training. It is possible that I have just overloaded the system with overhead work, which has always been a bit challenging for me due to my job and needing to overcome all of the desk work for may years as a CPA. I do believe I may need to focus more on strengthening the lower lats, rhomboids, trying to pull those shoulders back and down again. Might need to get more rowing in. Front squats also hit some of those muscles because you have to engage them to keep the bells from spilling. I will talk over with Kevin and figure out what we need to do. Also way him to talk to the Kinetics guys.
