6/27/16 Monday June 27, 2016 (DB 24kgs complex)

6:45am - belly breathing, lacrosse ball, Primal Move practice - 30 minutes (needed extra time to mobilize, very tight hamstrings and hips)

7:15am - 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

7:20am- Training session - DB 24kgs complex

2x:
20kg TGU, 3/3 windmills
20kg GSq, 5

30 minutes
DB 24kgs CL 1, PR 1, FSQ 1, Row 1 (used a box for the row)

Not sure how many sets, maybe 17 or 18.  The rows slowed things down a bit.

24kg 2H SW, 20

8:00am - Complete

Notes - I enjoyed this.  Have not done doubles work in some time.  Its a different groove for sure.  I noticed in the pressing had significantly improved overhead mobility, and the pressing groove was better.  More engaged lats, and arms were closer to my head (straighter line up, better thoracic mobility).  That was great to feel.  I have not double overhead pressed bells in a long, long time.

Notes - Fantastic training session.  Did this in the warm 70 degree sun at Greenlake.  Amazing.  I love training out in the open like that.  So cool.  Feeling really strong.  Wind is a little bit better than it has been too after a couple of weeks of trying to focus on conditioning.

24kg 2H SW, 20

7:45am - Complete

Notes - That was seriously tough.  Not easier than last week. These conditioning training sessions are brutal when you are not really in condition for them!!  This training session makes the 24kg feel seriously heavy by the last set.  One good thing is that no issues this week with tight abductors or hips, like what I experienced last week, from heavy front squats and seesaw presses with the 32s.  Feeling good about progress.
