Notes - Excellent training session. Any time I get the chance to press the 40kg and it goes well, that is cause for celebration.  Felt good going into this, and things went well.  Took a lot of time before each 40kg press.  These were strict presses and I did not look at the bell to get through lockout.  That is the first time I think I have been able to do strict pressing like that with the 40kg.  Make sure I focused on my big toes, connecting to the ground.  This seemed to allow me to get slightly more "upright" in lockout and possibly a little less "on the heels."  This could be a big discovery with the press.  It's possible some of the adductor issues could be alleviated if I can use the big toe cue for every press.  We will see how recovery goes - I will be focusing on adductor stretching / mobility stretches as well as glutes and hips.
