6:30am - Training session with Kevin. We did some primal move, and for cross crawls he showed me a new move to tap or grab the inside of the feet which I liked.
We worked on single leg deadlift movements with no bells, using furniture pads under my off leg foot. We talked quite a bit about the benefits of SL DLs and I need to throw those into a variety day more consistently I believe.
We then worked on Indian Clubs for the majority of the session, which I enjoyed a lot. We just used 1 club and did Movement No. 1, very basic, but nonetheless I liked getting some instruction. I bought 2 1 lb ICs from Dragon Door months ago (probably 6 months nearly) and have not used them. I now have a good idea of when to use them - a variety day that mixes SL DL, IC, and TGUs in a circuit. That will be great.
We then did some TK PR with the 16 kg after ICs to see how that felt on the shoulders. It felt amazing. 5 minutes of IC on a Press Day obviously would be a huge minutes before pressing heavy bells.
We then finished with some sled pushes in the studio to get my heart rate up, which definitely worked.
7:40am - Finish
Great session, I continue to learn a lot from Kevin. This was interesting due to the lack of bells but that was the plan going into this given the rest time I am trying to give my R wrist and forearm. The plan is to hit the same workout A/B/C for the next 4 weeks until I see Kevin again (Monday - single bell complex, will start with a 20 kg and work my way slowly back to 28 kg the last week; Wed - armor building with double bells, will start with a 16 or 20kgs, not sure, working my way back to 24 kgs; Friday, snatching, going to drop down to a 16 kg and work back to a 24 kg the last week or so). Variety days are going to be ICs, SL DL, TGUs, maybe some swings too. Should be a good period of time before I see Kevin next assuming I can keep recovering on the R wrist and forearm which looks to be the case.
I also saw my acupuncturist / body work specialist Dave for another treatment today which was very helpful.
