Notes - Feeling ok rest wise this morning, took some time on lacrosse ball work and other mobility, I needed it.  Felt very strong once I got going, and was short on time so really compressed the presses and HSP which was cool that I was able to do that with no issues at all.  Pressing is very strong these days.  Things are going well.  Hamstrings and abductors were feeling better this morning.  The pattern though is that I train, they feel fine that day, day 2 they get tight, I try to mobilize them, that works, I train again, and so on.

Notes - Excellent day.  Up earlier, felt rested, focused, hit this and hit it well.  Another personal record in terms of getting 5 sets on the CL&PR with the 32kg for doubles.  I am very pleased.  Feeling good with my press technique, and good with the consistent gains, on a slow but appropriate pace.  Stacking up the volume here over time.  This is very good.  Need to get some good mobility work in this evening on my hams and abductors, good rest, get dialed in on the sleeping and get more consistency there.

Notes - Writing this on Sunday afternoon.  Very good training session.  Strong lifts these days. Tight abductors are a drag.  Got them stretched out very well, felt great yesterday and through this training session.  Tight again today (my mom visiting and sleeping on the floor so she could take my bed didn't help all that much).  I did get to lift with my 6 year old son and he did a bunch of deadlifts with my 16kg, 24kg, and he nailed a 32kg deadlift (with good form).  We shot a video of him and a video of me lifting bells.  it was awesome.

32kg Gsq, 5

40kg 2H SW HSP, 1x 5

40kg CL&FSQ, off hand helping, 1/1, x 5 (used less help on the off hand than last week)

7 minutes of snatching the 20kg

20kg SN 10/10, x 2, set down and rest

Total of 130 snatches with the 20kg in 7 minutes (up from 120 last week)

10:15am - Complete

Notes - Solid day.  Didn't get much sleep, but powered through. Was good to see some improvement on using less help on the 40kg FSQ (quite a bit less on the off hand), and I also improved the snatches by 10 reps week over week.  I was able to get the first 100 snatches in 4:45, so ahead of the snatch test requirement (albeit this is a 20kg and not a 24kg bell today).  Need several nights of good sleep here.  Abductors are tight, really trying to work on those but am finding it difficult to get those and hamstrings fully stretched out.

Notes - Good stuff other than I could not wake up this morning.  Daylight savings has me all sort of confused (as does a new woman in my life so that's a good distraction but a distraction nonetheless!). Strong day overall.  Abductors are tight these days.  I need to focus on some mobility stretches and figure out a way to get these released, as well as the hamstrings.  Going to focus on that tonight and I I have a few stretches in mind in particular.
