Notes - Good training session from my hotel in DC.  Nice to have kettlebells even though they were weird and awkward with a stupid metal handle.  Oh well.  I got the job done.  Worked up a really good sweat doing it which was nice after the long plane ride yesterday.  Was able to get myself going at 3:30am PST, 6:30am local time so felt pretty good about making myself get up and get the work done. Continuing to do a lot of mobility work and stretching.

Notes - Writing this on Monday evening from Washington DC.  It's been an interesting time lately.  I felt very good during and after this snatch training on Saturday.  I have been noticing that my body is responding much better to extension recently (swings, snatches) and I seem to be having issues after pressing and squatting.  I think some ways to work with this may be to separate those exercises and not have them in the same training session, or, at least end the session with some swings or snatches.  Maybe going back to paring up pressing with swings, squatting with snatches.  Something to discuss with Kevin.  The adductor stuff, left hip continues to come and go, intermittent issues, definitely exacerbated by sitting at length.
