I be 51 years old today so I knew I had to do some multiple of that number in swings to commemorate it. Even though I have missed my swing workout the last two saturdays I knew I had to sack up a bit and put up some reps. Especially since the Swing Queen did a full grand of swings just the other day. I thought half the reps but on one arm might suffice. It did; it was tough.
One arm swings
16kgx5/5x2
20 kgx5/5
Ladders
24 kg x
10/10
11/11
12/12
13/13
14/14
15/15=150 reps
Three rounds of this then:
24kgx10/10/10/10
x10/10
510 reps
27,030 lbs
The first two rounds were great, actually easy with the swing groove strong and fast. The third round got tough,especially after the first two sets and the last ones were working me to keep form and bell speed.I alternated with Rex and Nikko( he was squatting though so we lapped him most sets). Took about 60 minutes
Two handed CB Mills
15lb club x
10/10
12/12
15/15
suprised at how beat I was and how much this worked my already tired hands.never felt that before.teach me to skip two workouts ;))
datsit, now off to enjoy my birthday weekend.
"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."

Happy Birthday Rif. 510 swings is a f*cking awesome to start your celebration. You make 51 sound like 31!
thanks joe, it wasnt too bad til the end.could definitely feel that I had missed my swing workouts though.see you tomorrow at 1:15.
Happy Birthday, Rif! Lots of love & congratulations from the KBLA crew, and especially from me, Courtney & Cub!
Happy birthday Rif. Aside from the post I cleverly deduced it was your birthday when I needed a backhoe to clear the birthday cards off the desk at Girya to make some workspace. :)
thanks Mark, say hi to courtney and the cub for me!
jordan,
thanks man, for sure reason my pc can't read the cd you gave me, will try it at work on my laptop
Happy Birthday Rif!! You are da man! Thanks for inspiring us. And thanks for continuing to raise the bar. Just think each and every year now, we'll have to swing more and more. I guess that's the way it should be. Hope you've had a great birthday weekened!
It's a .mp4 file, so if you don't have quicktime installed that could be it. It comes standard on most systems now, but if your system at home is older is might not have it.

thats strange, as I do have quick time and the 'puter is two years old and is pretty updated.I'll try again.
