Notes - Ok, finally logging the last week of training now on Wed night the 21st.  In summary, a week ago on Wed the 14th I had felt good for 3 or 4 days in a row, which was great.  Thursday morning the 15th I thought I would be fine to do some Carries.  That is training two days in a row, something I do occasionally (Friday/Saturdays), so thought it would be fine.  For whatever reason I started feeling shitty relatively soon thereafter training.  Hip flexors just seemed to tighten up.  Man, I am telling you, my body is not appreciating grinds these days at all.  I would not consider carries necessarily a "grind" but they are much closer to that than a ballastic obviously.  I got on an airplane that night to LA, it sucked really bad, and then got up Friday morning to take the kids to Disneyland.  It sucked body-wise but I put that aside and just tried really hard to enjoy the day.  Saturday morning, in the car again, this time to drive to Palm Springs.  I rested Saturday.  I started feeling decent on Sunday.  I did simple body weight training, felt good.  Same thing Monday morning.  Had to get back on the plane again to get back to Seattle, it sucked, but not as bad as the first flight or all of the driving.  Didn't log this but yesterday I superset 3 sets of 24kg TGUs 1/1 with 48kg DLs x 5.  Simple, not much.  It felt good.  Get-ups and deadlifts seem to work for me these days.  Did a yoga class Tuesday night, that was a positive, mostly meditative stuff.  Felt good today to train and consistently what seems to be working for me lately is Snatching.  Thank god I have something I enjoy doing, can at least appreciate being able to do something even if it is not heavy stuff that I really love.  Felt decent all day.  Hoping this continues and recovery goes well and I can do light one-arm swings Friday.  Getting the swing back in order, snatches, really just focusing on my Hip Hinge and getting my pelvis and lower back right again needs to be the only thing I do.  I think this is really about getting the pelvis and hips figured out.  I realized with the carries that moving around right now, as you do with carries, is probably not the right thing if I am having issues with the hips and pelvis.  Putting that under load and moving it is not a great idea.  I need to get a great hip hinge back.  I don't have it right now as I could tell from a video I sent to Kevin.  I need to get deeper.  I think it will go a long way to opening my hip flexors back up, adductors, etc.
