Notes - Good day particularly noting I was able to release a lot of tension in the abductors last night by using a KB to dig into those areas.  This was a solid training session, hit another PR in terms of doing 5 singles on each side pressing the 36kg.  These were not difficult, even the last single on each side, which is a really great sign.  Pressing strength continues to move up and that's awesome.  I have really added a significant amount of muscle mass to my shoulders, traps, and arms this year.  My upper body is easily the biggest it has ever been.  I think we may back off the shoulders a little bit after this cycle from what Kevin intimated, but so far, so good.  Whenever I get back to moving up and pressing the 40kg for reps, I believe I will be ready.

Notes - Quick.  Pretty tired after training last night, as I expected.  This was just intended to move around.  Abductors incredibly tight from all the traveling.  I used a kettlebell at night to dig into the abductors and release the tension, which really helped a lot.  That's a nice additional use of the KB that I discovered some time ago.  Thankfully this doesn't happen all the time but definitely from sitting from long periods, I can get really tight in the front of the hips, upper quads, and abductors.
