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

Great post and love the pic of Grand Master Carlos!

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 ...
