Notes - Very solid work today, honestly I felt great.  Warm sunshine, did this in my backyard in the afternoon while the kids watched a little movie.  Life is pretty good.  Headed to NYC for work early tomorrow morning, coming back late PM Thursday.  Going to see if I can get access to some KBs while I am there,  If I don't, I will figure out something else including body weight work and I think some pretty long walks in the mornings or evenings since I am staying right in Manhattan.  Should be interesting, always is back there.

Notes - Went to bed extremely late last night, not much rest at all.  I knew this was going to be a little tough.  But I fucking crushed this training session.  Really, really excited about the snatches.  Using the vertical jump to get the feet and hips in the right position, I had a lot of power here.  Really exciting.  Pressing that 32kg is starting to feel like no big deal (well at least for singles haha).  I need some great recovery the next 48 hours.  I have an appointment at Kinetics this afternoon and that will be good.  Excited to feel like I have achieved a decent course correction here with Kevin's advice on the stance.

Rocking

9:40am - Complete

Notes - Feeling much better today.  Both the inner thighs as well as low back.  Slept really well, felt energized this morning.  All the movements felt good, I continued to use the standing vertical jump test for proper feet placement.  Surprised how much wider the stance is compared to what I have been using.  I really did get too narrow recently and it clearly was impacting the adductors and the low back.  Going for a nice walk in Spokane and then into the car back to Seattle.
