Notes - That was a real nice training session.  Good volume on the 32kg CL&PR, delighted to get 10 solid sets of doubles on each side.  What a great lift.  Focused on foot placement, toes out a bit to get glute activation, pressing from the lats.  These were good reps.  We'll see how recovery goes, but I am very optimistic.

9/23/16 Friday September 23, 2016 (Training with Kevin)

6:20am - Training with Kevin

Excellent day.  Feeling really good.  Some mobility work first.  We worked on some get-ups into windmills, getups with pauses at each point with neck rotations and shoulder rotations.  I like that stuff, felt very good.  Practiced rack walks, one arm with 28kg, double rack walks with 2 24kgs.  Practiced hike swing parks with 24, 28, 32 kgs.  Did some tall kneeling presses with 16kgs, 20kgs, 24kgs.  All of this designed to dial in staying tight in the abs, not spilling out.  Did some CL&PR with the 28kg, and the 32kgs, doing doubles.  Mixed in with rack walks and HSP, a few sets.

Really solid, this is excellent, clearly moving forward in a positive direction.

8:00am - End

8:45am - Chiro

Another good appointment. Did some baseline tests, for movement patterns etc., and then an adjustment.  This stuff is really helping too.
