Notes - Very pleased with this.  Up from DB 24kgs last week to the 28s, had my attention, but nothing I couldn't handle.  Snatching felt great, I really feel like I had better wind and was feeling a good groove, even just compared to last week.  Enjoying this movement more than I have in the past.  Added strength is making the 24kg feel more solid than it every has, which is very encouraging.  I also have improved the timing of my breath.

Notes - Really good training session today.   Life has been extremely busy with moving houses etc., I worked literally 10 hours outside in my yard yesterday at the old house, getting it ready to sell this week, but still was able to show up Monday morning physically to train and get some good work in.  It is a real testament to KB training and where I have been able to get to over time that the training sessions are giving much more than they are taking away.  Very fortunate.

Notes - First training session in my new house, the new Courage Corner in the garage!!  Always wanted a garage gym, now I have one, this is going to be outstanding.  Getting a few more things for it including 1 inch rubber interlocking mats, most likely a squat rack + pull-up bar so I can do pull-ups, hang from the bar, use my rings to stretch, and eventually yes probably get a bar for deadlifts and squats.  In any event, this was heavy today (the 36kg doubles on the PR) but that was expected, I have been moving for 48 hours and am pretty worn out.  All in all this went better than expected.

Notes - Enjoyed this session a lot.  I enjoy the sessions with a minimum number of bell switches.  Sometimes it is just damn nice to grab only one or two bells and just get after it.  This will be much less of a thing starting Friday as I will be training in the garage in my new house, right next to my KBs.  A new Courage Corner.  Exciting times!!!!

Notes - Good training session.  I realized I did a poor job of reading the plans and forgot to include 1H / 1L planks in the warm up, and didn't include a carry at the end of the session.  Dumb.  I will get that right next time.  This session was fine but I definitely noticed fatigue, and didn't have good bell speed or feel on the R.  Elbow and tricep were tight going into this, I noticed in playing baseball with my kids yesterday.  Just a little bit off.  Moving houses and extreme high stress level as a result of all of this activity is not easy to manage. Just looking to maintain strength right now and get through these couple of weeks intact.
