Notes - OK, this was definitely a step in the right direction.  The chiro adjustment on Wed this week I think really helped out my left shoulder.  It's been feeling significantly better and the overhead position has improved in just a couple of days.  Calmed the bicep way, way down.  Good stuff.  Left hip still does not feel great but I will keep working mobility drills.  This was all around a very strong session.  I quite liked warming up with 10/10 with 16kg snatches - I am going to do that more often.  I think that is a great opener for my shoulders.  I also noticed that pull-ups were significantly easy to do than the last time I did these - and that's likely in part due to dropping weight.  I am down to 217, trying to get to 210.  I have lost about 11 pounds.  Makes a real difference and I notice it.
