Catch up

Ok..lil' bit of time in between weekend chores to catch up the blog a bit. Friday's Y session was more of a recovery session with a most of the time spent on the foam roller. But there was a good run of seated 'grip' presses with 35 lb iron grip plate for a running 4 set 5 rep per side continuous run. The other recent discovery I enjoy is a single legged stretch up the side of a jutted wall (supine) with both legs creating full tension and the extended leg's hip pulls into the ground. A few waiter's presses with the 35 preceded and followed the BU grip presses for 2 sets total of 6 reps per. Myofascial release class followed (tennis balls work very well in addition to the roller).

On to Sunday - better energy level and a chance to hang w/Ralph (fellow k-bell enthusiasts & strong!). The session went:

*Back to back (not releasing bell upon descent) TGU's w/32 kg per side

*2 sets alternating 40 kg TGU's

*40 kg swings 1st set 10 per side 10 two handed center (2nd-8/8/8, 3rd 5/5/10)

*24 kg strict press with 16 lb sledgehammer side extensions to stabilization - 3 sets per side 5/4/3 (actually 2 1/2 on L last run :)

*Nice bear walks w/32 kg in between to sprinkler points like a track - took @ 16 per side to get to one end - same to get back.

*Halo's w/16 lb sledgehammer 8 per side R up - 8 Per L up

*Dble 32 cleans for 6

*Dble 24 kg snatch to 5 press - 2nd to 4 press

*BUP w/24 kg 2 on R - failed attempt at L - retry got 1

*BU clean w/32 kg - easy on right - failed L

Good session.
