6/10/13 Monday June 10, 2013 (PR, GSq, 1H SW)

5:45am - Original Strength resets and Primal Move - 30 minutes

6:15am - 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

6:30am - Training session - PR with the 24, superset with the GSq with the 24, and then 1H SW with the 28

Warm up -
TGUs 16 kg, 3X+3 (3 each side without putting the bell down)
DB DLs 32 kg, 5, ALT 1H DL, 5 each arm
TK PR with 16kg, 5 L/R

5X:
PR 24 kg 5 L/R (25 total reps)
G Sq 24 kg, 5 (25 total reps)

I then clean and pressed the 28 for a single, L/R, went up no problem.  I then cleaned and attempted to press the 32 for a single, failed both sides.  Interesting.  Cleans felt good going up but didn't have a lot of confidence in pressing the 32.  My pressing strength is down obviously as I have not pressed much in the past two plus months, but it is coming back slowing.  It was good to see the sets of 5 with the 24 go well, and the 28 went up no problem for a single at least.

1H SW 28 kg 5 L/R X 6 (30 reps each arm) (PR with the 28)
1H SW 32 kg 3 L/R
1H SW 32 kg power swings, 5 singles L, 5 singles R

Finisher - a few loaded carries,overhead walks, rack walks putting all of the bells away.

7:20am - Complete

Notes - Well honestly everything felt pretty darn good today.  The fail on pressing the 32 didn't bother me much, I am glad I tested it just to see if I could get a single.  I didn't get a ton of sleep last night, probably just about 5 hours, so I could have been more well rested.  The best part of the session was probably swinging the 28 with one hand and just feeling really confident with it, that was cool.  That led me to try a few with the 32 and those also felt fine.  Didn't want to push past 3 reps but those were fine and I even got a hand transfer in.  It will be sweet in the future to work up to longer sets with the 32 for one hand.
