10:35am - 8 minutes of 28kg 2H SW, go until form degrades, rest, go again , to get in 10 total minutes of swings

Notes - Very solid day of training.  Press volume got up there now once you take ladders to 5s.  The last round, last set of 5 was a little tougher than I would have expected with a 20kg, which is light for me.  Kevin was right to stay at the 20kg this week and just finish out the cycle to get to ladders of 5s.  This was good.  I realized I did not do my TK PRs in the warm-up after writing this, so that wasn't great, probably would have warmed up my shoulders even more for pressing but I felt pretty read to today actually with just arm bars and a couple of get-ups.  My swings had to get broken up between 2 minutes before I had to leave for an acupuncture appt and 8 minutes after I got back, to get in 10 total minutes, but that was fine.  2H SW are very powerful these days.  I like where I am at right now mainly because it feels like I am moving forward in a positive way.
