It's been a bad week and this morning I had had little sleep,no training partners, a foul mood and needed to kick something's ass.I chose the 32 kg for one arm swings and it kicked back. I won though and got through 20 sets of 20 in 34 minutes for 400 reps and a solid one arm swing pr. Drank some Red Bull and fired it up.
One arm swings
16kgx5/5x2
24kgx5/5x2
32 kgx10/10x 20 sets
400 reps PR
34 min
28,800 lbs
this wasnt too bad for the first 200 reps but then I started picking up the pace and things up tough.I always tend to train faster when I am solo and this sometimes is not what I need. Tracy helped me out and paced me for the last 200 and that really helped.I don't know if I would have made it alone.Got it done. Wasnt planning on a pr but I had to do something to cleanse myself this morning and this was it.
Swipes
10lbsx50 x 2 sets
Mills
10lbs 50/50 x2 sets
good to get back to doing these again.I just was beat by this time.
bw 159.2
bf 9.7%
water 59.5%

"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."

I was waiting for this number. Awesome PR, and way to get it done on a foul day!
thanks aaron, beleive me, you were in my thoughts when I decided to do this.
Hey Rif, that's a pretty amazing display of work capacity and the volume and intensity is staggering. If possible, next time you get the urge to beat it, please record a video of some of it and post it .. very inspirational work!
franklin,
thanks man, although it would be a pretty boring video,lol. just LOTS of 20 rep sets of swings but next time I go for a 32 kg pr I will tape the start and finish. It was ugly yesterday as I was not full strength but it got done.
Hey, hey, I know what 32kg one hand swings feel like .. they man handle me .. brutal and hardly boring!
Also I'm extremely interested in learning from your watching your form .. its impossible to do 400 swings 32kg swings with out great form and focus.
Nice, Rif.
I did a segment of tabata swings with the 32kg today, and averaged ~11 reps per segment and it put me down pretty good.
franklin,
thanks man, if you are interested I will post an older video of my swing form with the 32 kg from a past session; it hasn't changed much since then.
thanks steve,
the funny things was that as beat tired as I was I was going much faster than normal, especially when tracy started pacing me.
normally I alternate sets with rex and nick; rex is swinging and nick is squatting so it's pretty slow.
short rest periods hurt so I avoid them as much as possible,lol.
400 is frickin nice Rif! 32kg.....getting stronger, ay?
