Notes - Very good training session today from the Block in Lahaina.  40kg presses went up the fastest I have ever experienced.  I have been sleeping and resting a lot here during our honeymoon, and the benefits are showing.  With the way the 40kg went up today, it is very possible that I have a 48kg Beast press if everything goes perfectly on the day of the SFGII testing (December 1).  In any event, I know I have been getting stronger the last several months as the objective evidence is there.  I am very pleased.

Notes - Went to a great kettlebell gym in Lahaina, the Block, where the owner Anthony took care of me.  Nice spot.  Got to pick up some bells, got in some very good work.  Not used to the heat or humidity here, I worked up a hell of a sweat and some challenges with heavy breathing.  I was happy to get a bit of practice snatching this week.  I will be back on Friday, and will work on some heavy one-arm pressing, pull-ups, and swinging some heavier bells.

Notes - Documenting this on Wed before T-day.  Very good training session.  Push pressing the dumbbells is a little harder than kettlebells.  The 70lb dumbbells felt right in terms of being challenging yet also being able to get in some reps.
