20 kg speed swings 30 sets/8RPA,Press practice 105-157 lbs, wt walking lunges, laterals



Still not 100% but almost there. Decided to increase swing volume a bit but not go on the clock. Still have a cough and don't want to push lungs hard yet at all

SO I go you go with Glenn. 30 sets of 8 rpa with the 20 kg. Probably one set every 30 seconds instead of 15. Didn't watch clock
HR was up at end

30 sets x 8
240 reps
10,560 lbs

not bad

Press practice

Switched to a flat( ish) shoe, my inov8 trainer. Hard sole and no more than a 5mm rise at best, Feels pretty flat
Switch to pressing straight up. Not back at all and finishing there. It ain't pretty but it sure is simpler and stronger
Switch back and forth a few times from flat shoe to oly and it was surprising that the main thing that was easier was the walkout!
Much easier to keep hips forward and shoulders back.Flat shoe also makes it easier to stay back at the mid point. And keep glutes engaged.
Just set up lay back, flex lats and press straight to lockout
As close to my bench press technique as can be
My standing incline press :)
