125 lb press+ mini band, 24 kg speed swings, wt pushups



This went great! better than expected. The bands pulled me into a tight coil at the start and gave great feedback for the start and really hit hard at the sticking point requiring me to keep good speed through it. Just what I was hoping
Elbows even stayed in better as well. Challenging in all the right places in all the right ways. Once I got used to it it got much easier and faster so I went up in weight. I could see adding a red mini after while too

Press
band + bar x 3
band + 65 x 2
band + 85 x 2
band + 105 x 2 x 2
band + 115 x 2 x 2
band + 125 x 2 x 8 sets
No band x 105 x 1 Man! it flew!

this really helped me stay in the right, vertical groove. It almost felt like I was in a press machine and the only way to push was straight up
this could be a game changer

24 kg one arm swings
10 sets of 8/8

spaced it and did ten sets instead of five. they were strong and easy.very fast pace too and wind was nothing. Still feel good. good sleep last night too plus a long good nap

think we'll do 8 sets of 8/8 as the base. 5 sets of snatches are harder than 5 sets of swings
