"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."

Swing Vo2 max, walking lunges, pushups
Another easy one before I leave for Denmark. Never have done max vo2 training with just swings and it was very interesting.
I used the 16 kg and did 10 one arm swings per 15 seconds . It wasn't that bad at all but it definitely got my attention towards the end. It will take some time to develop the technique to throw the bell even faster but for now it definitely is better than trashing myself with almost snatches
Swing Vo2
16 kg
15:15
30 sets of 10
300 reps
10,800 lbs work
I can see using the 18 or 20 kg on this no problem. Well, lots of work but no joint issues,lol. Really has potential
Walking lunges
4 laps of 40 steps
these are burners no matter how strong I feel
Pushups
3 sets of 15
1 set of 10
on horizontal p bars
shoulders were very good
isometric external rotators done grease the groove style all morning. definitely sets the shoulder
datsit
time to get going
