I checked my logs and was shocked to see that the last time I trained with Kevin was Friday December 12. Wow that's 2 months!! Time flies. It has been a really productive two months in a lot of ways.
Today, we did some cool stuff. Got warmed up at home for 15-20 minutes and started with Kevin at 6:15am. We caught up for a bit and then started at 6:30am.
Did some new warm-ups in the tall-kneeling position, practicing Windmills. We used a 12kg and a 16kg. That was really cool and I am going to like that a lot for thoracic spine mobility.
We then moved from windmills in that position to practicing Bent Presses in the tall kneeling position, again with the 16kg. That was really cool to practice that. Setting the bell out and letting it sink into the lat, bringing the off hand elbow all the way to the ground, like a TGU, and "getting under the bell" and not pressing it up. I think I am really going to like these.
We then did some PR with the 24kg, and then started practicing push presses, first with the 28kg, and then with the 32kg. I finished with about 20 or so minutes alternating between doubles of DB SL DLs with the 24kgs, something I have not practiced, and then doubles or triples of the 32kg push press. I liked the lifts a lot and it was cool to practice so many new things today.
We are going to do a 3-week cycle that will have some focus on all of these movements, and also some heavy snatches for low reps, 28kg. Lot of single bell work after doing doubles for so many weeks.
It is great to have such a good coach. Thank you Kevin!
