Writing this on Tuesday as I realized I forgot to log this training session from the weekend. It was a great session.

Total pull-ups - 22, up 1 from last week; 25 push-ups
Pull-ups are going extremely well. I really felt the lat engagement in both the pull-up and push-up. Things are really starting to dial in with respect to proper technique and maximizing the efficiency of the movement and not gas out the wrong muscles. Really good.
Drove to the south end of the lake for a new training impetus, 2H SW with the 24kg followed immediately by a hill sprint. I did 10 reps for each set, and did 3 total sets with 3 sprints. Damn it I was GASSED. That was a very interesting feeling. It was awesome. I am definitely going to keep doing this. These hill sprints feel "safer" to me than flat-ground sprints, and I have definitely noticed that I have considerably less soreness in the hips, quads and ankles than I was experiencing in the summer and fall with flat-ground sprints. I like it a lot. The combination of adding in the swings was something else. I will tell you, for whatever reason, I made these swings POWERFUL. I mean the most powerful swings I have ever done, so that is something to learn from and keep in mind to keep all swings like this. I was really having to clamp down on the lats at the top of the swing to keep the bell from flying upwards. The float time I had was crazy given how powerful the swings were. I am looking forward to slowing adding an extra set of swings and sprint here and there as I feel ready.
