Change Up

Pushed for time due to lil' ones classmates b-day celebrations, it was a bit of a different Sunday. Majority of crew were out of town and held up via various events. So turning 'lemon' to lemonade, it gave me a chance to experiment & play on the rings. Combined into the ring play of inversion, various tucks/front lever progression, dips, flyes, planks etc. was a

* 3 rung ladder of 2, 3, 4 - 50 kg barbell clean & strict press.
Only 1 clean per set and a static hold of 15-20 seconds on the end.

Will see if this helps on the road to the 36 kg strict press (currently lacking item) necessary to complete the Level II RKC in July.

The other cool news was gaining a lead into the gymnastics studio where the children's event was held. See where it goes?

Same Same

Hadn't blogged in a week or so, but definitely have been training. A quick re-cap would be:

~ Sunday 2 past - long cycle (clean & jerks) with 2-24 kg for ladder of 2, 4, 6, 8 x 3 - 2, 4, 6 x 2, 2, 4 once. Then some play various L-sits between them.

~ Monday - standard pull/hanging work followed by bodyweight conditioning class

~ Mid-Week - 32 kg (single) jerks for 5 per x 6

~ Past Sunday - quick one before out on Mom's Day :) 2-20 kg long cycle of 2, 4, 6, 8 x 5.

~ Monday - Wasn't able to sneak in a pull session, but went a bit stronger in b-weight class.

~ Mid-Week - Snuck one in a busy work week before client of a single 32 kg jerk session of 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 per.

Simple but effective :)
