5:45am - OS resets
6:00am - Training with Kevin
Good day with Kevin. Warm up with foam roll, halos, arm bars, then doing some practice with Fire Hydrants and variations for movement prep for the hips. Practiced some 16kg TGUs, and then we actually did some TGU into overhead holds with walking, which were excellent. I have gotten away from doing these and I am going to reincorporate them by doing a clean into a press (or a snatch), hold in the overhead position, and walk around a bit before my main KB training outside. We then did some 2H SW with the 24kg to check swing form, very good, I am really pleased with my hinge. We worked a bit on exploding into lockout at the hips from the hinge, and making sure that is a quick, powerful movement. We then did some work with 1H SW with the 20kg, as we are going to bring back in 1H SW. It was a bit awkward for me as I have not been practicing this movement really much at all, so it will be good to get back into it. Part of the deal is 20kg is pretty light for me, and so I need to focus on controlling the bell, but this is a good weight to start at to get back into this. From there we finished the training session by doing a little bullet proof complex, which is double 24kgs, 2 cleans, 1 seesaw press, 3 front squats. Did a few rounds of that for practice an really focusing on foot placement (fine to shift between each movement, in fact need to be in optimal positions). Main focus is on the front squat and really pushing out of the squat with the traps going skyward, to help avoid a butt wink. I am really focused on this, I have to be good at this as I move up in weight and the double KB FSQ is a sure way to get stronger, I love this movement.
7:00am - breakfast with Kevin at the dish
8:15am - 8:30am - did 5 more rounds of the bullet proof complex at home with my double 24kgs, just wanted a bit more practice and get a little bit more work in. All in all pleased with this and looking forward to the next program from Kevin.
