1/24/14 Friday January 24, 2014 (RR 20kg, SN 20kg ladders w / breathing)

Unusual training time as I was in Spokane yesterday and flew back mid-afternoon.  I had decided to say my training for after I got back so I had access to my KBs.

3:40pm - Original Strength and Primal Move - 20 minutes

4:00pm - 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

Arm bar 12 kg, 1+1

4:15pm - Training session - Focus on Renegade Rows, 20kg snatch ladders with breathing

TGU 20kg, 2+2

Superset 3x:
GSq 20kg, 5
RR 20kg on a box, 3/3 (new movement for me)

SN 20kg, ladders 1/1 up to 10/10, set bell down after each ladder and do the same number of breaths, inhale through nose, exhale through nose, use diaphragm, try to control and slow breathing.

SN 20kg 1/1 breath 1, 2/2 breath 2, etc. up to 10/10 (total reps are 110, 55 per arm in this ladder).  It took me about 12 minutes to complete.

4:45pm - Complete

Notes -  This was a fun training session.  I love the new movements with the renegade rows on the box.  Really a cool chance to practice getting tight in the armpits, quads, and staying really tight throughout the entire movement.  I like it a lot.  The snatching was interesting, bell felt light as hell all the way to the end, which was awesome.  I don't think my breathing was all that great but I have not practice this before.  Something I could continue to do.  It is very clear that controlled, calm breathing in the snatch absolutely leads to better numbers.  I will continue to practice controlled breathing in all my lifts, it is a big deal.

1/23/14 Thursday January 23, 2014 (24kg SW variations 10 min)

6:40am - Original Strength and Primal Move - 30 minutes

7:10am - 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

Arm bar 12 kg, 1+1

7:25am - Training session - Focus on 24kg SW combos for 10 minutes

TGU 16kg, 3+3

10 minutes, 20 reps on the minute of the following:

3X:
H2H SW 24 kg, 10/10
1H SW 24kg, 10/10
2H SW 24kg, 20

H2H SW 24 kg, 10/10

200 total reps, 10 minutes

Notes -  Felt really good, nearly the same as Tuesday but just changed the order of the variations.  Great grip workout particularly the H2H.  I can imagine being able to do that with a 32kg would be pretty badass.
