Notes - This was an improvement today. Got some tips from Kevin to use a standing vertical jump before doing any swings or other movements, so that my feet would land in the optimal position and I could use that then for swings, cleans, presses etc. What I found by doing this is that my feet were definitely landing much wider than the stance I had been using lately, and my toes were pointed out a bit more as well. What possibly was occurring is that the narrower stance was putting pressure on my inner thigh muscles, leading to some of the discomfort I have been feeling in the inner thighs and low left back area. This was clearly headed in a positive direction as the swings, cleans and presses had way more power today, just felt better. Tight in the low left back area still as I write this during the evening, but I will keep working on things. I have a deep tissue massage on Sunday after getting back to Seattle, and also have a Kinetics appointment on Wednesday. I think those things will also help.
