Notes - Well, interesting whatever the heck is going on with me. Focus on loosening up the adductors, right calf, used the lacrosse ball to roll out the feet quite a bit this morning, as well as stretching the calves on some stairs. The difference in my two calves is dramatic, the right calf is tight as hell, a result of pulling from the adductor on the inner knee, I think. I have had this pattern before. Once I got warmed up, things felt fine and this was a solid training session. Dropped windmills and rested more between sets of presses, per Kevin's suggestions. Did some marching in place standing, walked around, fast and loose, moved the shoulders in circles, etc. All seemed to help, the presses were not a struggle. I also focused on getting very tight in the set up and trying to stay tight throughout the second press of each set. I think the main thing here is to try and figure out what best addresses adductor tightness for me and really start to focus on making that a priority. I must say I did not seem this coming, things had been going quite well. I would say work stress and other personal stress has been doing up lately, that could certainly have something to do with it. Also I was awoken at 3am last night and could not get back to sleep very well, which does not help things.
