Notes - Took a very, very long time to warm up today.  Mostly, I was just resting with my eyes closed, and then doing some mobilization work on my abductors, which are incredibly tight and causing issues again.  Ultimately, I was feeling pretty good coming out of the warm-up but it took a long time.  Hip flexors and abductors needing a lot of attention, quads as well. Ultimately I ended up with a PR for the 32kg CL&PR, getting in 6 full sets of 4/4 and 1 set of 3/3 in a timed 15 minute training session.  That's a lot of reps for 15 minutes and I am pleased.  Narrowed up the stance slightly, tried to use the off hand to squeeze and generate some tension to help through the sticking points.  I have not been using my left hand in particular when pressing with the right hand, and I think that little extra focused tension can help me particularly with the bigger bells.  Heavy 2H SW with the beast to finish felt good and strong.  Important to get a lot of sleep and recovery going into SFGII in Dallas this weekend.
