TRAINING LOG 1/31/11

10,000 SWINGS DONE!

Also, I hit a new distance (time) in the one-arm long cycle press, 4 minutes with the 32kg. I'm proud of that. It really was relatively easy. 16 reps per hand, and it felt way easier than 18 presses the other day.

Today's workout:

24kg warmup

Long Cycle Press: 1 minute per hand (8L/8R)

1 minute swings (30 reps)

32kg

Long Cycle Press: 4 minutes (16L/16R)

TRAINING LOG 1/19/11

Gotta say, after a few weeks of nothing but 1-arm swings in timed sets, these small sets of heavy 2-arm swings really felt good.

I love the way the 2-arm swing's balance seems to "reset" everything. I felt my neck pop and a great stretch in the hamstrings and low back. Probably as good as a trip to the chiropractor! I always make sure to do these swings in small, explosive sets. All these sets today were less than 15 seconds, to make sure it was similar to… Continue

REST DAY

1/17

Hit a small PR today, in upping the minutes per hand in my workouts. I pressed the 32kg for 18 reps per hand today. Still following the World Kettlebell Club's Strength and Conditioning protocol, and slowing increasing the minutes per hand. I do know this is working wonders for my strength-endurance and power endurance.
