Notes - HELL YEAH this was a huge PR today.  5 sets of triples with the 36kg, nailed it.  Still had something in the tank at the end as well.  Then did 6 minutes of swings, 15 reps each set, 90 swings.  Really excited about how the latter half of this week turned out, after a challenging Monday.  Did yoga last night with Leah, and that always helps a ton, it's a recharge and frees me up mobility wise to be able to do more.  It is a key component of my recovery methods and I have to get in that one session of hatha or vinyasa each week.  The difference is noticeable.  In any event super pumped about where I am at.  I believe this is the week to test the 44kg and press that thing.

10:00 - 11:00am - Bodywork

Notes - Wow, great day.  Felt so much better and easier frankly than Monday, even with one more set, for another PR pressing the 36kg for triples - 4 sets.  Really delighted.  Last night I did some exercises from the Pain Free book, supine groin stretch, to try and work out some tightness in my R lat, which I felt was affecting my shoulder, elbow etc. on the R side.  That was helpful.  Felt energized for this session today and really pleased with the outcome.  I also got an hour of bodywork today which I think will help with recovery.  I need more soft tissue work for sure as I am setting personal bests on the press with regularity here, but have to make sure I am staying as healthy as possible while doing so.
