Notes - Got to thinking that it's time to go back to super basics here.  Nothing more simple than just picking the damn bells up and walking around.  Honestly, odd to say this, one of the more enjoyable training sessions I have had in a long time.  I think I need to keep it as simple as something like this for a couple of days a week.  Something to discuss with Kevin.  I want something that is going to distribute the load throughout my body and help me get stronger in a safe way.  Plus I love the grip work.  I think this could be very useful.

Notes - Getting around to writing this down on Sunday evening.  Doing a major reset on training.  Focus right now for me must be feeling better and just not having the yo-yo of up and down body issues.  I went in to see my chiro Wed evening, and got some good info, didn't surprise me.  Left hip a little high, my right lat and glute are turned on, there is some rotation in the pelvis and hip as a result.  Left hamstring turned on, glute is off.  Same historical patterns.  I am likely loading on my right side, and it is pulling on my left hip which is why it is barking.  The issue is getting my right pec, lat and glute to calm down and turn off, so that things can balance out.  I have been doing a lot of the supine groin stretch from Pain Free, and it is helping.  Have to just keep at it.  Dropping the load significantly in training and just thinking about doing things that feel decent, while still keeping me moving, is key both mentally and physically.
