Notes - Very strong work here, first time I have pressed the 40kg in 2018 I believe. And doubles on the 36kg too. I need to go back and check training logs but it has been a very long time.  I am expecting a bit of reaction here from the heavy load, but tried overall to keep the reps low today and planning on quite a bit of mobility and recovery this weekend. Try to get some walking in too. Will see how this goes.

Notes - My intuition was right - I was ready to handle the 36kg for reps.  This was a good overall set and reps approach, and I am pleased.  I was extremely gassed on the last couple of sets of swings, would be good to build this up slowly.  I didn't want to do too many heavy reps at once.  Best to build up the heavy swings slowly.  So far, so good.

Notes - Writing this at the end of the weekend.  This was good.  I am liking the lighter sessions on the weekends.  I think I am going to increase the number of reps and bodyweight exercises, but not anything heavier or more reps with the bells.  Basically, throw in some squats and lunges, and more push-ups (and possibly pull-ups).  This work doesn't overly tax me and I think it will help fill in some spots in the overall training plan.

Notes - Very pleased with this workload.  I had one bad rep with a lunge where I lost my footing, and my right lower lat grabbed a bit as I tried to stabilize.  Shit happens.  Fortunately not a big deal and another chance to demonstrate a bit of resilience.  Training is not always going to be perfect.  Had a chiro adjustment this afternoon, and am doing some bodywork tomorrow.  I want to get ahead of recovery leading up to SFGII on December 9-10 in Seattle.  Going to try and be diligent and smart about that.
