Tonight

I slept on my shoulder and it triggered my tendinitis. I took the night off. I did use the snow blower on 2 feet of snow off my driveway. This cold weather is getting old. I miss the heat and humidity of Louisville.

KB Rows 10/10

Today's Circiut

Circuit complete as many rounds in 20 minutes
Sandbag presses 5
Snatches 10/10
Sandbag front squats 10
swings 10/10
double swipes 10

I completed 4 rounds in 22 minutes. I used a 100lb sandbag, 2 15lbs clubbells, 24kg KB for snatches and the 32kg KB for swings.

I will say using the sandbag is different and a lot harder than I thought. I will probably be sore tomorrow.

Doing these circuits and going on my fourth week of the Warrior Diet, I have lost some fat and weight. I had stubburn fat and it is finally starting to go away. Sweet!

Today's Practice session

Halo

I made some clubbells so I tried some of those moves today. I got a VHS tape of CST from a friend that was getting rid of it. So I thought I'd make a set. I need more KBs before I spend the money on Clubbells.

Come to order- pair of 15lbs clubbells

Snatches

Torch press
3x5

KB snatches 10minutes

My forearms were shot.

The clubbells are pretty good. I know I am probably doing a few things wrong. So I will watch the CST vid again. I think these will really strenghen my left wrist.

my legs were jello. This brings me to an interesting observation. when swinging with the 32kg, my legs are fine. When I swing with either of the lighter bells, and really snap my hips, my legs get really pumped. they actually make me stop my sets. it just seems weird.

Today's Practice session

Today was awesome. I got together with Matt Schinabeck early this afternoon. He had his 24kg and 32kg with him. But instead of doing a lot of double work, we concentrated on snatches. here is what we did

Snatches - 5/5 on the minute for 20 minutes
20x5/5

This was awesome. Mat showed me how to do the corkscrew motion on the downswing. I need to practice this!

Bear crawls with 2 32kg
2x lentgh of my garage.

This was a different change for me. I have never done bear crawls with KBs

See saw presses
walking 1x5 24kg
standing 1x5 32kg

We then discussed training and what we are going to do with our RKC when they are achieved. Matt, his dad, brother and friend are going to the RKC in Sept. I plan on going sometime in '09. It was awesome meeting another enthusiast on the east side of cleveland.
