So so session today

After throwing football yesterday, my shoulder is sore or tender how ever you want to call it. I applied Tiger balm this morning, and by training time it felt better. I applied some more and headed out to the garage. I did the following

Halo 5/5

A1. Double MP 5x4 32s - I just didn't feel the 5th rep on any set so I stuck with 4 reps

A2. Alt RR 5x5 32s

B1. Double FS 5x5 32s

B2. Double swings 5x5 32s

Double Windmills 2x5/5 24s

Some stretches

Done

Got together with Matt for some fun today

Matt and I meet at a park for a little training and discussion.

My active rest day

Double fs 1x5 32s

Dead snatches 1x5/5 32

Full body attack 1x3 32s

Double Shield casts 2x5

Mills 2x10/10

Double swipes 1x10

It was Matt's grind day so he did more sets than I did. His conditioning has changed drastically since the last time we had trained, before he hurt his RC.

We discussed how each others training was going and about his preparation for the upcoming Sept RKC (he is going to smoke it IMHO).

We then played some football with our boys. It was a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Be sure to keep up with his progress at http://northcoastkettlebells.blogspot.com/.

My last week of 5x5 starts tomorrow. I can't wait to push it to see if i can do FS with the 32s all week.

Rob Zombie and Kettlebells

Started my session by jamming to Past, Present, & future CD. It is a great album. If you like metal, I highly recommend it.

A1. Seated MP 5x5/5

A2. RR 5x5

B1. Double FS 5x5

B2. Double swings 5x5 I was actually getting to eye level on all sets today. My hip snap must be improving.

TGU 2x5/5

All done with the 24s!

I have been really concentrating on reverse power breathing this week. I feel that I was having a leaking problem, but it was really better this week.

That is it!

B2. Double swing 24s 5x5

Double Windmills 24s 2x5/5

I felt real good afterwards so I threw on some Rob Zombie I thought I'd try some snatches. i haven't been doing any high rep snatches for awhile. So I proceeded to get 28L/28R. That is a PR for me. I still need to get 37/37. These new workouts have been working.

I will be modifying my workouts after speaking with my buddy Dave Randolph. i will be going heavy on Monday, Medium on wednesday, and light of Friday. I need to get another 20kg so i can have doubles.

Full R-Phase today

All I did today is Z.

A humbling session

A1. Double Floor Press 5x5 32s

A2. Double Bent Row 5x5 32s

B1. Double front squats 2x5, 3x4 32s - I improved over Mondays session, but not good enough!

B2. Double Snatches 5x5 24s - My groove was much better than last weeks

TGU 1x5/4 with 32, 1x5/5 with 24 - On the set with the 32, I had to use rest-pause for reps 3,4,&5.


This was very humbling since I have failed the last 2 workouts to get 5x5 with 32s on the FS. I am really baffled by the TGUs. During my time with the program minimum, I was able to go 5 min switching side each rep with both the 24 and the 32. But trying to do sets of 5 has just proved what I had been thinking for a while, my strength-endurance is my weak point. After I finish up the last 2 weeks of this program, I will be focusing on strength-endurance for 4 weeks.
