2.25.09 - off day

After Tuesday's swinging, I was sore all across my backside. The beast kicked my a$$, in a good way though. I took Wednesday off to recover.

Intu-flow


2A swings on the minute for 10 minutes

The Beast liked to kill me. I had to cut everything short. my wife fell this morning and busted up her knee. She thought it was fine, however it is not. I have to take her to the Doctor at 7:15PM. I feel that she either cracked her knee cap or dislocated her knee. I will know more later

Intu - flow

Bought a 300lbs Olympic set today.

I may break off this 4x7 cycle. I find myself unmotivated on the 'no and low intensity' days. Plus weekends are becoming hectic, so I may go back to a MWF of 5x5 for KBS and add Some deadlifts on TTH along with CBS. We will see.

Choices

I am having a difficult time choosing what to get next and am looking for feedback from the community.

I am thinking of getting one the following:

1. 2 -16kg and 1 20 kg KBs - this will give me doubles from 16kg -32kg

2. a set of 25# CBs and the Cb 5 DVD set from RMAX

3. an olympic set so i can do some deads


I can't decide, what do my readers think?

Thanks for any responses!
