Notes - Great day, this session felt like a tonic, really nice.  Great to have re-set some technique flaws.  Pushing feet into the floor as a cue has been helping everything - hinge, getting extension into the lockout, stronger lockout starting from the feet on the ground and all the way up the posterior, etc.  Really pleased.

10/27/17 Friday October 27, 2017 (training with Kevin)

6:00am - Training with Kevin

Great training session today, things are really going well.  Warmed up with primal move at home and then met Kevin.  Did arm bars with 20kgs to crooked arm bars.  Then worked on TGUs + ankle rolls with the 24kg.  Did some 2H SW with the 24kg, then one arm / one leg planks to work on top position in the swing, then more swings.  Did some hanging from the bar, then military pressing the 24kg, 28kg, 32kg (single arm, going to get back into that now).  More swings.  Then we worked on "work capacity" by doing a complex with the 24kg of clean, press, squat, snatch, get-down, switch hands.  Then started working that with the 28kg.  Swapped out the get-down for walking overhead with the bell for some reps, then dropping it into the rack and walking.  Finished with soft rolls.  Delighted with overall progress and how I am moving.

7:30am - End
