Notes - Was in Spokane yesterday afternoon and this morning, came back and hit this mid day.  Wow, this was very strong.  Personal records on front squatting the double 32s and seesawing pressing them as well.  4 sets of 4 reps, each lift.  I had to grind out the last presses in the last two sets, but stayed with very good form and got the reps.  This was pretty close to a max on the last set, last reps, for sure, but really delighted to get a strong grind in and finish these lifts. 1H swinging the 32kg it felt like a 24!!!! Unreal.  Love it.

Notes - Tough sledding this morning, felt a little  bit like I was hanging on trying to survive this one:)  Took me some time to warm up, didn't feel energized like I was hoping this morning.  Did get in some good work, I felt like 4 sets of clean and pressing the 36 kg for 1/1, 2/2 was pretty solid.  Got in some heavy swings with the 48kg.  As I write this my right oblique and hip are tight, need to stretch out and mobilize this evening.

Notes - Solid day, did this in the afternoon, it was quite hot outside, I was sweating a ton (did this out in the sun, because of the get-ups, kind of wish I had done this under the canopy but oh well.  Had to take breaks, this was pretty tough in terms of the conditioning element.  Real solid movements overall though I am not particularly comfortable doing goblet squats with the 48kg.  Getting that bell off the ground is difficult.  Overall though, felt very good, very pleased, lot of time with the 32kg.  Really noticing body composition changes lately.  Traps have just absolutely blown up, insane.  That's been a real nice side benefit without really focusing on that, just really trying to hone in on the training.  I think I have really noticed once I passed that threshold to be using the 32kg all the time for a lot of stuff, things really started to accelerate with the muscle growth.

Notes - Kevin was sick this morning so we had to postpone a training session.  He suggested KB aerobics, so I just decided to go with a 32kg session and see what that was like.  How cool to be able to flip the 32kg around for 30 minutes.  That is a decent load moved overall for sure.  I want with swings, cleans, and push presses, for doubles, for each set.  Decided on the push press as I have been practicing it lately and knew that would get me a decent number of overhead lifts without the grind of pressing the bells each time, and keeping this to more of a ballastic workout.  As a result decided to leave out squats as well, just swings, cleans, and push press.  I really enjoy these KB aerobics sessions, you can mix and match and it's excellent.  I also have to say I have really enjoyed all the single bell work the last 6 months.  I would say now I prefer single bell work over doubles in pretty much every movement except front squats, which I do not love with a single bell but are great with two.  I definitely prefer the seesaw over double presses, my body responds much better, does not respond well to double presses for some reason. Now double snatches on the other hand..... well I would have to actually practice those to know!  In due course.
