Notes - This was quite the ending to this 3-week cycle. A great training session. I have been running things pretty hot, training hard, and traveling, not sleeping real consistently. Still, I was really dialed in today and everything was working in concert. Felt really strong and tight with the technique on all the movements. In particular again the snatches with the 24kg felt really good. I can only attribute this to just overall getting stronger, which makes snatching the 24kg just a little bit easier than it was in the past. The difference is noticeable. I was absolutely gassed at the end of of this, pushed it hard, but form never fell off. Looking forward to a back-off week now, it comes at the right time, and training with Kevin next Friday and seeing how we dial up for the next cycle.

16kg TGU w 5/5 windmills
16kg TK PR, 5/5
28kg 2H SW, 5
7x (6x last week CL & PR):
28kg PR, 3/3 (set bell down between sides)
21 PR L, 21 R
28kg 2H SW, 15
8:15am - Complete
Notes - I screwed up today and did Military Presses instead of cleaning before every press. Not sure what I was thinking, this probably actually made the presses harder though I crushed through them. Got cleans on the first rep of each set on each arm at least so got in 7 cleans per arm, but just annoyed that I was not thinking. All around though it's clear I am making a lot of progress. To nail 7 sets of 3 reps with the 28kg is solid.

Notes - Moving very, very slowly today. Still trying to get over a cold, and catch up on sleep from last week and this weekend. Not operating at 100%, but that's ok. I need to focus on getting to bed the next couple of nights. In the end this was a strong effort, particularly on the double front squats, which were some of the best I can remember in any recent memory. Really strong stuff. The 40kg cleans are something else. They feel strong, but it also doesn't necessarily feel like I could press that weight. With that said, I have been holding them in the rack to try and give the body a dose of what these feel like. And they feel fucking heavy!

2/22/16 Monday February 22, 2016 (heavy TGUs to elbow, heavy 2H SW)
9:15am - belly breathing, Primal Move practice, lacrosse ball release, foam roll - 60 minutes (a significant amount of lacrosse ball and foam rolling, extremely tight from traveling all weekend)
10:15am - Kettlebell warm up
1/2K halos - 8kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)

32kg TGU to elbow, 3 L, 3 R
36kg TGU to elbow, 2 L, 2 R
4x (up from 3x last week):
32kg 2H SW, 10
36kg 2H SW, 10
40kg 2H SW, 10
120 heavy swings total
11:10am - Complete
Notes - Tons and tons and tons of lacrosse ball and foam rolling this morning. Tightest I have been in many, many weeks. All from traveling to and from San Francisco, different bed, not great sleep, didn't do any mobility or stretching down there, just some walking. Once I got training I felt very good. These were the best TGUs yet, I am very pleased. I have realized that really focusing on training my eyes right on the bell really improves the roll to elbow. This is a focus point Kevin told me about and for some reason in the past I just don't think I have always trained my eyes to be right on the bell at all times. Swings were solid. Good start to the week all things considered.
