32 kg two hand swings , cb swipes and sled drags



Had a surprising pr today in the two hand swing, 200 reps in sets of 20. Didn't expect that and it wasn't that hard. Pace was fast too with just Glenn and I going back to back pretty quickly. I needed to back off the weight ( never would have expected the 32 to be a 'back off' weight :)) and haven't done anything more than 10 reps in the two hand swing in forever. So i thought we would start and go to a 'comfortable stop' . 200 was very comfortable.

Two Hand swing
16 kg x 10
20 kg x 8
24 kg x 6
32 kg x 20 x 10 sets
200 reps
14000 lbs *

that always surprises me how fast that number loads up . Like it.




 Decided to put these back in the routine as well. They are a really good move for me, much stronger than almost any KB movement. I stopped doing them when they were just aggravating my  wonky left shoulder months ago but it's time to put them back in and push them more as well

2 CB Swipes
2 10 s x 15 x 2
2 15 s x 12, 15

 four easy sets just to get started. I will alternate the two cb version with the single bell two hand version. that should be fun with the 45 lber :)

here's some old video back in 2008 with a 35 lb club


Snatch holds
18 kg x 30 sec
         x 40 sec
         x 50 sec

haven't gone light here either for awhile, these were strong on the left but right side was tight.

Sled drags
 100 ft forward , 100 ft backward
4 laps = 800 ft

going backwards was excellent but man are my quads weak! this should help tons. made me appreciate the forward drag way more
