Saturday 5/29/10

Morning:

Pullups max effort sets - 2x9, 1x8

Loaded cleans 32kg - 3x1/1 with 10 second hold

Afternoon:

Two handed swings 32kg - 1x10, 2x15 (warmup - not timed)

Two handed swings 32kg - 4x15, 10x10 (on the minute) - 160 in 14 min

Last Saturdays pullups made my tendinitis sore, so I'll try less sets of more reps on this pullup day. I could have gotten 10 on my first set with my chin over the bar, but I want my form to be strong and pulling to the chest when I train if possible.

Swings were good, but hard :). The cadence is harder to get with the heavier bells, but all of my swings regardless of weight should be the same in form and speed. That is what I'm working towards.

Wednesday 5/26/10

Afternoon:

Two handed swings 28kg - 2x10 - not timed

Two handed swings 28kg - 10x20 - not timed, about 1 -2 min. rest between sets

Pushups - 3x15

Air squats - 3x20

I wasn't going to do anything today because of the pulled muscle in my back but I tried some swings and it didn't affect the area so I got some sets in. Still working on my cadence which requires me to concentrate on the negative eccentrics and pull that bell down with my lats on the downswing.

Tuesday 5/25/10

Afternoon:

Chinups throughout the day gtg - 10x6

Diamond pushups - 3x17

Bodyweight squats - 3x20

My neck is really stiff today. I was going to do TGU today, but went back to this. Next week I finally get this splint off of my finger and I'm hoping that soon I can do the things I want to do.

Monday 5/24/10

Morning:

Pushups - 3x19

Air squats - 3x20

Afternoon:

Two handed swings 28kg - 5x10 - not timed

Two handed swings 28kg - 1x20, 7x15, 4x10 - on the minute - 165 swings in 12 minutes

I not only have to work on proper swing form but my swing cadence as well. I'll be picking up a metronome soon so I can practice a perfect cadence of 40 swings/minute.

Another lesson learned today. I just picked up the 28 and start doing some presses either side and I pulled/strained a muscle in my neck/back. It was stupid. I got through the swings today, but my neck is very stiff and sore now. Hopefully it will just be a day or so before it loosens up.

Be smart!

Saturday 5/22/10

Morning:

Two handed swings 32kg - 1x20, 2x10 (warmup - not timed)

Two handed swings 32kg - 3x15, 7x10 (on the minute) - 115 in 10 min

Pullups throughout the day gtg - 12x5

I have to foam roll my it bands, quads and adductors a bunch before I swing so my knees don't get tight and feel sore. It seems to be working though. Having it work for the next three months will be a real success.
