20 kgx5

Single leg dl ( right leg only,weight in right hand)
12kgx5

liked these. don't think I am going to do pistols though. My hyperactive right psoas probably won't like that and wheregoes my psoas goes my back.

dead cleans and snatches:played around with these on right hand.so so but
I am rethinking the dead hang cleans.They might help me solidify the upper right side tightness I need for that shoulder.Then just hold the rack position for a count.

20 kgx10
24 kgx20

32 kg x20 x1o sets.

both hands. these are great. Plus I get to snatch it!

Halos
12 kgx8/8x 4 sets

Weeks total
Total lifts 664
Total Lbs 32,632
Ave lbs/lift 49( lbs/lifts)

Not a bad weeks. Up a couple thousand pounds from last week, which included the 20 kg snatch workout( low #).Definitely felt great NOT to worry about hurting my shoulder and just work hard. This definitely has a future and being able to do some of my favorite RKC lifts was great as well. My left side is strong and it will be fun to press and windmill the two pood again, safely.
Might do some low volume snatching as well. The thing I have to remember is that with the kettlebell everything gets worked all the time; just in greater or less amounts but the whole body is working!

Hope this works out.

datsit, gotta stretch.
these went VERY well.The most reps I have done with this weight in eons. form felt great with NO shoulder or back complaints.
