I knew I needed a back off week from the two pood but I also felt good and wanted to push some aspect a bit.So I compromised and used the 28kg for the one arm swings but went for 300 reps(my goal with the 32 kg).
warmup
z drills 10 minutes
rifga 10 minutes
two clubbell swings 10lbsx 20 reps x 3 set
One arm swings
16kgx10/10x2
20kgx5/5
24kgx5/5
28kgx10/10x15 sets
300 reps
18,900 lbs
this was great. everything felt good and all the reps were strong and snappy.havent felt this strong in awhile,especially after wednesdays slog fest.Plus it was really nice to do some low reps again and focus on acceleration.Pace was strong as well and I lapped my training partners more than a few times.
Clubbells
torch press one bell 3x5 each arm
double torch press 3x5
torch press one bell 15lb 3x5 HARD!
clean to flag press one bell 2x5
flat press two 10lb bells 2x5 easy
clean to flag press one 15lb 2x5 hard!
side press 10lbs 2x5( not sure my shoulder is ready for this move yet)
datsit! This routine looks good, a perfect balance to the swings.The torch and the flag presses are definitely the ones that I need to work on now.Have to start winowing down the movements a bit to focus on my weak points.Nick did 2 sets of 3 with 528 in the squat and looked as strong as I have seen him.With full gear I know he can squat 650.
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

This looks great! 300 reps is awesome.
thanks aaron, next week with the 32kg! this was a good prep week for that.
Rif,
Glad to see your progress with your Clubbells. Be careful not to do too much pressing until that shoulder's up to snuff again. Holds in back position with heavier weight and shallow range partials (lifting the knob directly skyward with the bell perpendicular to the ground) may help restore lost range from scar tissue adhesions.
Be safe and keep me posted on your progress!

Scott!,
I am honored to have you here.Beleive me I am going to be very carefull with the pressing as with my particular injuries the shoulder will never be 'normal' again, but still has much improvment to make.
I really like the spiraling motion of the torch presses as it similtaneously locks the elbow and links the arm to the scapula.I can really feel the connection.
With my hyperextending elbows its tough to get resistance in the full lock position.
I have just ( today) started playing with the back positions with some arm casts and mills( very light). I think it holds much promise for increased ROM.
Thanks for the advice and for stopping by. I will keep in touch.
