Notes - Writing this on Wed evening.  Yesterday Leah and I went skiing at Stevens Pass, something I never do.  It was a ton of fun.  I felt fine, didn't fall, didn't hurt anything.  I figured I might be a little sore the next day.  Didn't notice anything this morning per se, though this training session, which was scaled back anyway for a back-off week, was hard.  Skiing is the opposite of KB training in that you need to be leaning forward into your boots.  I had a lot going on in terms of calves sore, feet sore, quads etc. and I think things were just a bit off with training this morning as a result.  Left hip and low left back are sore now, adductors tight.  Doing a lot of mobility work now and tomorrow to work on this.

Notes - Back-off week this week, this was a great training session as the video feedback I received from my last set of swings really confirmed how much progress has been made with my hinge the last month.  I am extremely encouraged.  This has really turned into a beneficial time period for me to re-group, deload, focus on technique for an extended period of time.  I think there is more to be gained by continuing the current focus.

Notes - Writing this on Thursday evening.  This was a great training session.  I have recovered reasonably well and feel pretty good.  I am thrilled.  This is major progress.  Video of both lifts looked good.  Hinge is significantly improved over the last 3-4 weeks.  Really important that I keep this rolling.
