My adopted Son ( tongue in cheek) Mike Castrogiovanni came back from his world travels and brought back the thick handled antique db I gave to him many years ago when I was cleaning out Stones Gym. Before I was RKC, I believe; when I thought my lifting days were over for good. I pretty much gave away the store. I don't know how much it weighs, 40 lbs perhaps but the handle is at at least and inch and half thick. Nice stuff. Now that I can play with these things again.
Recovered well from Thursdays workout all systems were go!
Snatch
warmup one arm swings 16 kg x 5/5/5 x 3
16 kg x5/5
x 3/3
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 6\/6
x 7/7
x 8/8 x 3 rounds
126 reps( most total volume in months!)
6,678 lbs
these went very easily and the video is from the third set of the first ladder. Technique was spot on and nothing hurt! so nice to train when everything feels like it's attached correctly :))
This was the most reps I've done with the 24 kg in eons. Nice and it was pretty strong as well
Two Hand swings
28 kg x10 x 5 sets
Felt great. Easy, strong and fast. My 'lean into it' hinge groove is holding steady here as well. About freaking time, ten years later :))
Two hand Shield cast
25 lbs x 10/10
35 lbs x 5/5 x 2 sets
used the new CB that Glenn bought and they haveWAY too much knurling! The thing is like a Texas Power bar! It has TEETH! Not a problem for arm casts but we'll see for swings and forget swipes for any reps. that would tear my hands up no matter how you did them. Not nice. I liked the old handle grip just fine.
floor handstand
4 sets of 5-8 seconds.
WAY tough to get overhead I was so tight in the anterior chain, lol. No spot, except for one but it was funny as my body would just not open up enough until the last set to let me get overhead fully in the first kick up
good day
datsit.
Sisu/NeverQuit
"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."
