6/8/16 Wednesday June 8, 2016 (training with Kevin - DB 32kg PRs)

6:00am - 8kg and 12kg halos

6:20am - Training with Kevin

7:40am - Finish

Notes - Very good training day.  Started out by doing some arm bars and get-ups with the 16kg.  Moved into some 2H and 1H swings with the 24kg.  Then did some snatching with the 24kg.  Needed to work on lockout on the elbow on the L side.  We worked on some thoracic spine opener drills, by doing tall kneeling and holding a 16kg bell behind my back.  That was a good mobility exercise, really helped drop down my shoulders into place.  Went back to snatching the 24kg and things immediately improved technique-wise.  We then practiced some double bell front squats, going double 24s, then 28s, and finishing with 32s for doubles, which is a PR for me.  Don't know that I have ever double front-squatted 32s.  We then decided to try some pressing.  Pressed the 32kg for a couple of doubles on each side, and then went for a see-saw press with the 32s, for doubles on each side.  Hit that, no problem, again a PR, I have never done that before.  We then did some 2H SW ladders with the 24, 28, and 32 as that will be part of the conditioning cycle we are going to do next.  Finished with a 24kg complex that was basically

3 1H SW
1 SN
1 PR
1 FSQ
1 1H SW
3 SN
1 PR
1 FSQ
1 1H SW
1 SN
3 PR
1 FSQ
1 1H SW
1 SN
1 PR
3 FSQ

set the bell down, rest, switch hands, do it again

That was a bitch!!! Going to work that into this conditioning cycle, probably 2 rounds of that for a training day main course.  Good stuff all around, delighted with the overall progress.
