Notes - Took some time to warm up, but overall, solid effort today.  Body is feeling better as I write this in the afternoon than I did on Monday after training.  Just got to ease into things.  Using a narrower stance to press, really trying to get under the bell, use the glutes and lats.  This seems to be working well, something I picked up at SFG2.  Getting some doubles on the 32kg is a confidence booster, my pressing strength is there.  Just need to rehab all of this nicks and nacks.

Notes - Solid day back to ramping up training a bit.  First time getting into heavier loads above a 24kg and first time pressing at all since SFGII back in the first week of August.  Everything felt good during the session. Writing this later in the day, noticing a few hot spots, lower left back same spot a bit tender, and right elbow a bit tight.  Just going to take this slow, not overdo anything, and focus on the mobility work and other prehab / rehab movements a lot on off days and when preparing to train.

Notes - Another solid day.  Noticed that the insertion point for my hamstrings into the glutes was a little tight during the day, just need to continue to be vigilant amount the hamstring stretches, abductors, etc.  Can't do too much of that work, I think this is just an issue of mine.  Some of this is a lack of sleep the last couple of nights.  Went to bed at 130am due to work, as I am taking off tomorrow and Friday to go to Bozeman MT for a wedding.  Lot going on.  With that said, I think I am coming out of the woods now and we can step up the training regime as appropriate next week.
