Thursday 7/29/10

Afternoon:

C&P BU press ladders - 20kg - 5x1,2,3

Two handed swings 32kg - 10x15 (on the minute) 150 in 11 min.

Actually there was extra rest time between sets 7 and 8 as I took a call from my wife. I added a minute to the total time. My swings were really pushing it at the end there as my hips were pretty tired.

Tuesday 7/27/10

Afternoon:

TGU 20kg - 10 x 1/1

Max VO2 - 16kg bell 15/15 protocol - 66 sets of 7 reps

It's a hard couple of days in a row with the squats and presses yesterday and the snatching today. I'm playing around a bit with my routine during the week and I am going to take tomorrow as a day off.

Monday 7/26/10

Afternoon:

Two handed swings 32kg - 3x20

Goblet squat 32kg - 2x5

Double bell clean to front squat 2x 24kg - 4x6

C&P ladders - 20kg - 5x1,2,3,4

Farmers walk 32kg+28kg bell alternating hands - 2x 100 yards

I'm getting stronger. The squats are still heavy and my last sets feel pretty hard, but it's easier than it was a few weeks ago.

Saturday 7/24/10

Afternoon:

Max VO2 - 16kg bell 15/15 protocol - 72 sets of 7 reps

I did some sets of arm bars before to warm my shoulders up. I'm still doing Z-Health Neural Warmup before almost every training session to get my joints moving.

Friday 7/23/10

Afternoon:

I had a session with Jordan. I learned more about how to stabilize my shoulders. I have really good shoulder flexibility, but at this point it will probably be advantageous for me to sacrifice a bit of that mobility to increase my stability.

Two handed swings 24kg - 1x10

Snatch test 24kg 3 min. - 66 reps

Pr for me in the 3 minute test and just the number of reps I was telling Jordan I wanted. On the downside my grip got a bit lazy at the end and I pulled the skin in my palm and got a little blood blister....and I was just telling Jordan how good my hands were holding up! LOL.

Thursday 7/22/10

Afternoon:

Goblet squat 32kg - 3x10

C&P ladders - 24kg - 5x1,2

Pretty easy day today. I'll add another rung to the pressing ladders on Tuesday and today next week.

The 32kg goblet squats aren't hard like the double bell squats on Tuesday. I'm doing them very slowly and pausing well below parallel. I may add a set or two next week.

Wednesday 7/21/10

Afternoon:

Two handed swings 32kg - 5x20

Long cycle 2x 24kg - 3x 2, 4, 6

I think I'm going to change this day to TGU and swings.

The long cycle is "fun" and I like what it's doing for me, but sandwiching this between two days with squats and presses may not be the best fit.
