Notes - This was an excellent day, starting back at a previous PR for 32kg CL&PR. Very good technique today on the L side for pretty much every rep. On the R side, I think I rushed a couple of reps and used too much momentum, but corrected this on my last several sets. My right trap, bicep tendon, and pec have been a bit tight, and it is slightly affecting my technique on the R side. I need to spend some additional time mobilizing these muscles and I know I will see improvement. It's an interesting thing given that I am right-handed and that is my stronger side. I think what occurs is that due to being stronger on that side, I can rush some of the movement and it ends up being unhelpful in the end. On the left side, I am forced to use great technique. This came through on Friday training with Kevin as well going for a PR press with the 40kg where I didn't hit the lift on the R side, but hit it on the L. This is not a matter of strength at all but it is highlighting a technique / mobility issue that I need to focus on and correct. 2H SW with the 36kg were very strong and felt great. A successful day all around and good start to a new 3 week cycle.
