10-29-10

Had little time today so I did essentially 40 presses per arm.
Did 7-9 a minute. Guess thats ok.
Shoulder bugging me a little so going to take it easy the next couple of days and ice it some. Didn't do swings today...felt kinda weird doing my ladder sets and not doing the swings!

10 swings

3 presses w/26

10 swings

4 presses L/R

Then Jim challenged me to do 100 snatches without stopping. SERIOUSLY did not think that I could do it. BUT.... I did!!! Felt like I was going to puke at the end but felt AWESOME! It was great having people there to cheer me on too. I did not want to fail, especially… Continue

WAY to many days between workouts...gotta change this.
Jim started me on a new regime and then we decided to change it...having a hard time pressing the 35 for more than 1 rep...DANGIT!!!!!!
4 ladders today using the 35 for my 1 rep and then scaling down to the 26 for the rest.
Then I did 10 min of snatches.
I WILL not let that 35 beat me. I WILL be conquering that thing this time!!!

A quick 30 min workout today.
3X-2min clean and press for warm-up

It was supposed to be 5 rounds but I only got in 3 1/2 because of needing to pick up my daughter.

25 swings-used the 35 on these because the back has been bothering me a little.
15L snatches 15R snatches
5 pull-ups
20 push-ups

Had to switch to presses instead of snatches after awhile. Hands were getting a little ripped up!
