since I had a two hour break early this am I decided to split up tomorrows workout and do the press section today. This will be the case these next two weeks as I have a lot of clients traveling and lots of holes in my schedule.Perfect time to up the training loads, carefully of course, and more but shorter workouts.
I survived saturdays swings and pushups pretty well and today decided to beat the delayed onset muscle soreness to the punch by hitting the same muscles again.I havent trained heavy this early eons but I stretched out for 30 minutes first doing:
bretzels
straddle stretch work
standing lunge work
squat stretches
hanging from pullup bar
stick shoulder stretches
then:
Clean and press( one clean per press)
16 kgx5/5 x2
20 kg x4/4x2
24 kgx3/3
28 kgx3/3
x2/2
x1/1
these felt great, even this early. I have seemed to have worked out my kb press groove and even my right side felt solid and smooth. could have easily gone heavier but didnt want to press my luck too much on too many fronts.
Tactical pullups ( these were alternated,set for set , with the presses)
6 sets of 2)
was pretty sore from these on saturday but every set felt better.I am getting my groove on gthse very quickly.
kb front lever and pullover
this is a new move I learned at the Level 2 and I add my own twist( the pullover)into the mix. I love it! Here's a short video I made
Crooked arm bar
18 lbs x 4 sets of ??
this is another great corrective drill I got from Brett and Jeff at the cert. This is,along with the bretzel going to really improve my right side t spine mobility.
heavy stacked swings tomorrow, can't wait.ohyeah, bodyweight was 158.8 this am. combining more muscle work, more protein, more feedings and voila' muscle mass and weight goes up. go figure.

"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."
