The revised, revised schedule

With Glenn's help I switched some things up for the schedule. It looks like Saturday AND Tuesday will be the heaviest, toughest days,with Thursdays decidedly lighter. We have two off days between Sat and Tues and only one between Tues and Thurs so it makes sense.

At least on paper :))

Stones Gym is my Cave, my Courage Corner, my Fortress of Solitude. Going inward to see outward.

Saturday
24 kg Snatches  100+ reps
Barbell Deads
Two CB swipes
DB laterals
Triceps / Pbar handstands




Tuesday
KB Mil Press
Swings ( one arm, two hand, H2H, two kb)
Two hand CB Casts/Swipes
DB Rear Delts
Triceps
Floor handstands




Thursdays
16 kg snatches ( 100+ reps)
One Arm CB shield casts
Rack walks
P bar handstands
triceps
DB laterals

On paper many things make sense, I hope they make sense in execution too.

BTW I like this: "Stones Gym is my Cave, my Courage Corner, my Fortress of Solitude. Going inward to see outward."

that's why the 'schedule' changes so much; the idea might sound good but the in reality just doesn't pan out. I used to try to force things if they made sense intellectually but no more.

I like that tag line too, because it is true.

I myself like routine and planned training. But sadly recently I've had very little of it. Makes it hard to focus on what's gotta get done.

I find it impossible to train without a regular routine and SOME kind of structure to it. Mainly what days I am going to train on and at least the main exercise/purpose of the day. otherwise it just turns so random and very little progress is made.
sometimes one has no choice( life gets in the way) but I prefer the routine so I can measure progress and make correct changes to the structure.

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
