45 minute walk around Greenlake

5:00pm Finish

Notes - This was good stuff.  I went into this thinking I was going to go up to 9/9 and stop, and not try to do the 10/10 final set given that I had jumped up to the 24kg from the 20kg, this is the end of the cycle etc. but once I was in it I decided fuck it and went for it.  That was definitely a challenge, but glad I pushed myself, I stayed safe.  I have a deep tissue massage tomorrow, great timing, backoff week next week.  Main thing I want to address is a tight R biceps tendon, tricep is involved, which is putting some pressure on my elbow.  The bicep and tricep are responding very well to lacrosse ball work and I think a massage will be very good.  Pushed it hard during this cycle, made some really nice gains and moving in a positive direction.

Notes - Great day.  Up very early, did some primal move and KB warm-up, and headed to work for early meetings.  Planned to get home in the late afternoon and hit the heavy training, which I did.  Got in two sets with the double 24kgs bells and will conclude this 3-week cycle tomorrow with snatching, have not decided if I will use the 24 or stay with the 20kg.  Today, really strong with the press, it felt very easy which is a great sign.  Solid front squats and cleans.  All in all,excellent cycle.

Notes - Came back from working in Spokane the last couple of days.  A late evening workout, very unusual for me but you just have to get the work in sometimes.  Overall, given the circumstances, solid day, good work, I got this done.  My R bicep tendon is definitely tight.  Did a lot of mobility work and targeted lacrosse ball release on the pec, tricep etc. to try and get it to release.  I am not totally sure of the origin, though I think it is an accumulation of overhead lifts, 1H SW.  My R knee also continues to be tight, tender on the inner part of the knee.  I think this is from a very tight abductor (both legs most likely).  Need better sleep, better recovery, and next week is a backoff week.  This has been a good period for sure but I need to stay sharp and work through some of these things.  I have a deep tissue massage scheduled for Sunday.  Need to get some other restorative soft tissue work in the next week as well.  In any event, tossing around the 32kg for a decent number of reps at the end of a long day is nothing to be ashamed about.  I got the work in.
