Notes - Not the best day.  Overslept, missed my training date with Kevin, basically started off on the right foot and it didn't get all that much better from there.  Slow moving during the warm up.  Started to get going with the get-ups, and pressed up to the 36kg were feeling ok.  40kg went right up on the L, barely stopped at the sticking point.  On the R, clean was slightly off, I think it threw me off.  Bell went up better than it has before, but got to the sticking point and I could not press through it.  I believe my shoulder is moving up as opposed to glutes locking down and the lats locking down to press from that position on the R side.  This is clearly a technique issue and I am just beyond frustrated.  I tried to come back and try and again but it was not going to go.  At that point I got frustrated some more and just decided it probably made sense to try and work with the 40kg for some push presses and then jerks, to continue to get the body used to having 40kg overhead at least.  That all went pretty well, though right now as I write this, again my left lower oblique, hip, outer lower back do not feel all that great - same pattern.  I have a massage this afternoon, a down week next week, Kinetics appt and then off to Dallas.  It's fairly obvious to me that I have hit a peak here and need to back down. Going to go for a walk this afternoon and try and collect my thoughts as I am not feeling positive at the moment.
