"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."

24 kg One arm swings, Two KB swings
A very solid one. All the pieces were together this morning, plus, it was just the 24 kg so there was no fear factor. Of course that's when you have to be extra careful. Really. It's the light weights that usually get you hurt because you don't concentrate enough or get cocky. But the stretchout went well as did the warmups
One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 10/10 x 10 set
x 20/20 x 1 sets
240 reps
12,720 lbs!
the last set of 20/20 was not that bad at all. just the lungs said anything but I kept the power output high , as well as the bell height, for the entire set.
Two kb swing
2 20 kg x 6
2 24 kg x 6
2 28 kg x 6
2 24 kg x 6 x 2 sets
these felt good once I got the groove back a bit. til then I was catching my inner thighs with the hands on the upswing. haven't done any of these since the TKR. Definitely stronger the weights were no problem. going to alternate these with the two hand swings each week,probably just doing a straight half pyramid with weight working up to 1-2 top sets and perhaps a down set.
after all the swing volume in the one arms I don't need much more :)
barbell curls
45 x 8
55 x 6
65 x 4, 5
55 x 8
Crawls- backward then forward
alternated these sets with the barbell curls
crawled backward 30 feet or so then went forward the same distance
4 sets. Geoff Neupert has challenged me to just crawl everyday for a week and I won't drop everything else but I will crawl each day AND focus on backwards crawling as well. No problem I like to crawl :)
lying barbell triceps ext
4 sets of 15 with 45 lbs
Hangs 3 x 20 seconds
adding 2 lbs to the pack tomorrow for the walk. 20 lbs even. can't wait :)
