It's interesting how back off weeks are harder than testing weeks, Of course last week we tested twice, and basically at 100% effort so it's not surprising but it is interesting how 13 min can be some much harder than 20 under the right circumstances.
BUT it wasn't as hard as it was a few weeks ago after my second 20 min workout so it's getting better but everything was just a bit stiff and tight and tired.
Used more adrenaline than I thought for those workouts as I feel that definitely under repair.
But I expected it so it wasn't that bad.
Swing vo2
24 kg
260 swings
13,780 lbs work
A very much workingman's pace , just bend down and swing my ten reps as fast and powerfully as possible then try to get some air in 12 seconds. Then repeat til the clock says we can stop.
Certainly as much a mental effort as a physical one.
Walking lunges
4 laps of 40 steps
these too were hard and I had to stop and take breath 3/4 the way back on the last two laps. again expected no stress
Horiz bar pushups
20
15
10
8
shoulders and tri's need a break. Last two sets were done much slower and with lockout semi holds
KB row
3 x 6/6 with 24 kg
again backing off. Sore and tired
ok ruck tomorrow and really looking forward to it

"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."

With Vo2 swings, do you set a timer and see how many swings can be done in a certain time (i.e. 20 min)?

I swing 10 reps per 15 seconds and rest 15 seconds. that's one set. I do this for varying times ( 13 min, 16 min 18, etc). and I do set a timer
Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle. See the link below for more info.

Life is a battle, if you don't know how to defend yourself then you'll end up being a loser. So, better take any challenges as your stepping stone to become a better person. Have fun, explore and make a lot of memories.
