Notes - Not quite sure what to make of the last couple of days events.  I woke up on Sunday morning feeling pretty tight in my left oblique / low left back / hip. A pattern from the past, which was brought on my very tight abductors.  Low and behold, they are super tight, as are my hamstrings.  I worked them yesterday but again today this morning for at least an hour with other mobility work.  I think it could have been the introduction of some new movements on Friday - the double snatch and jerk?  I have had issues with the double jerk before.  Maybe heavy 1H SW test on Saturday with the 32kg?  Windmills maybe? It's hard to say.  But my body is barking a bit.  I also could probably use better overall recovery.  It's been a long road prepping for SFG2 and perhaps this is my body just talking back a bit from the accumulated volume.  I was judicious today during training, focused on technique, tried to be extremely controlled.  Wouldn't you know the seesaw press and squats felt fine, and I got a PR too, 5 sets of 4s.  What the hell.  I was running short on time and didn't want to over push things so I did 5 controlled sets of 2H swing with the 48kg, and said that's it, time to live to train another day.  I am going to work the recovery hard in the next 48 hrs, particularly tried to get to these abductors and hamstrings.
