Notes - Training in NYC, found a 24hr fitness close by.  Would you believe the heaviest bell was just 20kg?  Wow. I do not miss the big box gyms.  How terrible they are.  I grabbed a couple of KBs and just found a quiet corner where I proceeded to work up a total sweat doing KB aerobics.  Man, the KB is an amazing tool.  Just so, so, so grateful that I was taught KBs by Ross Meyer and then Kevin has taken it to the next level.  I threw in some DB snatches at the end for fun when I found matching 14kg bells.  Pretty light rankly but even so those are tough and your heart rate starts going up immediately.  All in all, that felt really great and it was nice to work out some of the malaise of traveling, time zone changes, etc.

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.
