Notes - Ok day. Lower left back / hip is barking significantly again, I think it's from coaching soccer and running around. Damn it this thing is hard to break. Got some body work from Dave Engstrom my long time acupuncturist this afternoon, which helped. Just have to stay really on top of recovery work.

9/7/16 Wednesday September 7, 2016 (training with Kevin)
6:20am - Training with Kevin
A good day of training with Kevin. Started with some foam rolling, and other warm up. Did some TGUs with the 16kg that included some hamstring stretches. Worked on some tall kneeling pressing with the 16kg as well as some halos with the 12kg. Did some hanging from the bar and ring work to stretch out the pecs. Did some pressing with the 24kg, 28kg, and 32kg intermixed with 2H SW with the same bells. Finished with some wrist extension exercises with a club, I will end up using my new sledgehammer in training. This will serve as a good balance for the antagonistic muscles for pressing. Going to be continuing to focus on pressing in the next cycle but need to make sure I am recovering and improving these few troublesome areas with the right knee, adductors, right pec etc.
7:55am - End

Notes - Good day. Right pec and trap tightened up during the day - likely from heavy pressing on Monday. Did quite a bit of targeted lacrosse ball release and that is helping.

1:30pm - Complete
Notes - Very, very excited here. Continuing to use the narrow stance for pressing, and it's feeling like a good technique shift. Nailing some doubles with the 32 and singles with the 36 today, and not near failure. Very good sign that my pressing powers are not too far off of where I was going into the SFGII. Now, time to work on the gradual volume build up. One downside is continuing to watch the right knee, which is not right due to tight hamstring, calf, etc. issues. Need to get that sorted out with Kevin. I am focusing on hamstring band stretches but this needs more attention.

Notes - Very, very solid training session. Strong all the way around. Felt warmed up and ready to go. Only downside here is that the right knee, inside and outside, were barking at the end of this training session. Adductor insertion on the inside of the knee, hamstring, and the TFL all at play. Have to keep working the hamstrings consistently. With that said, the band wrist extensions have been great for the elbow.

Notes - Best training session yet. I am really encouraged. Body recovering, slept well last night. Good presses today, the narrower stance is good, I can get under the bell better and set a base. First time I have snatched since SFGII, so 4 weeks, and this was good. Really focused on two things - opening the hand at the top of each snatch (take some pressure off the grip / get a little bit of wrist extension), and then on exhaling out of the hole to get the benefit of correct timing on breathing. That is something that came up during SFGII (exhaling too late, near the top of the snatch at lockout). Encouraging day and week in general.
