2/4/13 Monday February 4, 2013



5:15am - Joint mobility drills - 30 minutes

5:45am - Kettlebell warm up ("Standard")

1/2K halos - 8kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
1/2K pullover - 12 kg, 5X each leg

1/2K halos - 12kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
1/2K pullover - 16 kg, 5X each leg
Roll to press (TGU start) - shoulder cam shafts, each arm

6:00am - Training session - Focus on DB C&P with 24kg, test how it compares to about 10 days ago.  Get to a 5th set for the first time.

Warm up -

GSq, 20kg , 5
GSq, 24kg , 5
DB DLs 32 kg, 5, ALT 1H DL, 5 each arm
DB TK SS PR with 16kg, 5
TK PR with 20kg, 5 L/R

DB C&P with 24kg, 5X (1,2,3,4,5), cleaning bell between each rep.

On the 3rd set getting the 5th rep was very difficult.  On the 4th set I got to 1,2,3,4, had to set bell down, then get 5.  On the 5th set I got 1,2,3 no problem, but could tell that getting 4 and 5 would be difficult.

Between each C&P set - SL DL (no KBs), 3X each leg

Finisher -
2H SW with 32 kg, 1X (10)

6:50am - Complete

Notes -
Well, I was able to progress further from my last training session on the DB C&P and got into the 5th set.  I had only about 4 1/2 hours of sleep due to my daughter coughing until midnight, so this was hugely successful in the circumstances.  I really have not been able to get proper sleep lately and it is resulting in a plateau for training.  Honestly I feel like with proper sleep I could seriously be making a lot of gains right now.  But, it is very important to listen to the body and know when to pull back.  I think I accomplished that today and left enough in the tank for recovery for the next training session tomorrow.
