Notes - Interesting day. Felt fine in the morning, evening at work, neck etc. on the R side tightened up yet again. For fuck's sake man. Had a body work session with my acupuncturist at 4pm, got massive, massive releases in some muscles in my neck, teres major and minor, and huge releases in my triceps. I mean it was crazy stuff. We talked at length about some of what he was seeing in my body - rotation in the left shoulder, very little movement in the upper thoracic spine, and then these other issues. He thinks my training has possibly gotten too dominant or things are otherwise just off, and some asymmetries are not being corrected and in fact are getting worse. I have some things to think about and to discuss with Kevin to figure out a way going forward that is going to make sense for training. It is possible that I have just overloaded the system with overhead work, which has always been a bit challenging for me due to my job and needing to overcome all of the desk work for may years as a CPA. I do believe I may need to focus more on strengthening the lower lats, rhomboids, trying to pull those shoulders back and down again. Might need to get more rowing in. Front squats also hit some of those muscles because you have to engage them to keep the bells from spilling. I will talk over with Kevin and figure out what we need to do. Also way him to talk to the Kinetics guys.

Notes - This was good. Writing this at the end of the day. Very solid training, neck, pec, trap on the right side showing major, major signs of improvement after a massage late Tuesday afternoon, following chiro the previous day. All of this helping a lot. Calming way down. Low L back at the top of the hip, insertion to the hamstring acting up again after this session a bit, same pattern, noticing a tight right front of the hip. I think that tight right front causes the issue on the back left - need to get better opening through hip flexor stretches or something on that right side. Also need to focus on lower glute contraction, not upper glute, which ends up I think enflaring that spot on the L side a bit. Something to consider on the swings, need to get those lower glutes firing better. I was focused on that during the sets and seemed to help. That, and locking down those lats on the swings as well. This session didn't seem to irritate anything at all associated with the neck, which was great. Also got in a kinetics session in the afternoon, which was helpful, and they are going to send some notes to Kevin. Notes are focused on needing to fire up the lower traps / upper lats in the back, to set the shoulders better for overhead work. Need to work on something the warm ups that patterns that movement and fires those muscles, prior to overhead training. Something to discuss with Kevin.
