28 kg Speed swings 10 min 1st w/o,walking lunges, parallel bar pushups, rear delts



The experiment was a success. The 28 was pretty much perfect for the job of challenging my cardio in the last five minutes of the workout. The weight felt light and swung easily 10 reps in 15 or less seconds. The first five minutes were not hard at all even while trying to maximize speed and power output.
But then it started challenging my wind and that's what I need for the test in March. It was about as hard to breathe as in the last 5 minute or so of a 20 min session with the 24 . But with a heavier bell so strength is being built as well.

Next week we'll do 11 min then 12 then re evaluate.
Left biceps tendon was out the last two days I think from too much getup practice. It was really bugging me despite lots of bodywork and I wasn't sure I could swing! but I figure it would either fix it or I couldn't do it and it was fine. As usual. The massage ball work loosened up all the tight ass tissue then the old pattern set things right.


Thank you :) It brought back bad old memories of being in pain and really restricted movement which, of course, leads to even more restricted and compensated movement. No bueno. But the combination of SMR and my windmill and scap work brought things back into place. Just got to go slower with the getup work.
