Notes - Interesting day.  Daylight savings time was yesterday, seems like it threw me off.  I could not get to sleep last night, and slept right through my alarm this morning, so I was up later than I wanted.  And I felt fatigued which surprised me as I have slept more than usual the last few days.  Must be the time change, and I am feeling stressed about a couple of personal things as well, which is what kept me up in bed last night.  I was moving around slowly this morning, got warmed up.  Knew right away this was not necessarily going to be one of my greatest training days ever, but it's about consistency, putting in the time, and reading yourself.  I took plenty of rest on the presses as a result, more than I normally would.  Ended up with yet another PR this week with 4 sets of doubles on pressing the 32kg (with a clean on each press).  I probably had no business getting another PR in the overall circumstances here, but I tried to block out all distractions and nail those presses.  I had a couple of cleans with the left hand that didn't feel absolutely right into the rack, so I set the bell back down, and re-cleaned.  I think that's just a sign of getting smarter with age and experience.  I need an absolutely firm and locked wrist on that left hand, as I can't overpower quite the same as I can with my right hand (since I am right handed).  With that said, man my grip is getting more powerful and that definitely includes the left hand / forearm.  You start messing around more with these heavier bells, and your body comes to attention.  I need to get rested up and get my body clock reset, hoping I can do that over the next couple of days.
