11/13/15 Friday November 13, 2015 (training with Kevin)

5:50am - warm-up, some halos with an 8k and a 12kg, and some arm bars with a 16kg

6:15am - Training with Kevin

Last training session was on September 25 with Kevin

Some foam roll, then right into things.

Get-up practice to the windmill position with a 16kg.  A couple of minor pointers to move in the supporting hand slightly, open up the hip but in general, really good, especially lockout.

Did some swings with the 24kg to get warmed up.

Got into some clean and press practice with the 20kg and 24kg.  Really feeling good on presses.

Got into some practice with front squatting the 24kg.  Kevin gave me some very good pointers on foot position, to open up the toes slightly and basically "go where my body wants to go" as in how my feet are positioned in a body weight squat.  Noticed a huge difference.  This could be a big cue and adjustment for me.

Did some snatching with the 20kg just to get a feel again.  Snatching is going back into the next cycle.

Finished with some ladders on 2H and then 1H swings, 24kg, 28kg, 32kg.  1H SW on the 32kg was awesome.  Man it is feeling good to be getting back to these weights.

Excited for the next cycle.

Notes - Great training session.  Had to sleep in again to try and completely get over these flu symptoms, so I felt reasonably rested once I got going.  Man it felt good to handle the 28kg like that again.  Those presses were popping up.  I like the progress a lot and love this simple style of training.

Notes - Slept like a rock and completely right through my alarm, but I felt better this morning having done that.  Busy weekend and I needed those extra hours.  Got behind this morning as a result but that's ok.  This was a solid training session.  Pressing the 24kg felt great.  Actually doing everything with the 24kg felt great.  

11/7/15 Saturday November 7, 2015 (BU FSQ 20kg / pistols / SLDLs + push-ups)

Writing this on Sunday evening late after a very long weekend, but very fun.  A co worker got married on Saturday night and I had one hell of a night.

I got training in during Saturday afternoon before the festivities began.

Primal move warm-up (feeling very good)

Kettlebell warm up

1/2K halos - 8kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)
1/2K halos - 12kg, 4X each side / each leg (total 16X)

Arm bar 16kg, 1+1, x 2

Crooked Arm bar 16kg with 3 presses and rotations, 1/1

BU FSQ 20kg, 3/3
Push-ups, 5

Pistols, 1/1
Push-ups, 5

BU FSQ 20kg, 3/3
Push-ups, 5

SLDLs 20kg, 3/3
Push-ups, 5

BU FSQ 20kg, 3/3
Push-ups, 5

Total 9/9 BU FSQ 20kg, 25 push-ups

Notes - Good all around.  Noticed later in the evening and today, pretty tight in the R trap, same old spot, and R knee sore which I suspect was from the pistols.  Pistols didn't feel all that great.  Was not getting very good depth.  Hamstrings too tight.  Those are dropped and that's why I only did the one set.  No need to mess around with those right now but I just wanted to see if I still had the movement capability.

Notes - Good day.  End of a training cycle, resting yesterday was a good idea.  Body is feeling sore, but it's not from training, I think I may be coming down with something.  Both of my kids are sick.  Need to get a great night's sleep tonight. Have to check with Kevin as to where I go from here for training but this has been very productive.
