Hey Everyone
I am now finished another three sessions, which seems rather quick, but, I was late posting my last few sessions !
These latest sessions, saw me going back to a previous session and hoping to see some improvements, either in time, or in how I was feeling during and after it.
One of the sessions also included kettlebell snatches, which I love but haven't done for a while, so wasn't sure how that would turn out.
This is how they turned out
THURSDAY 27th JUNE
This is a session I had done before, slightly adapted
For Time - 4 Rounds of
5 Wall Climbs
7 50Kg Thrusters
5 Toes to Bar
7 100kg Deadlifts
5 Burpees
7 American style 32kg Swings
with 4 minutes rest between each round.
As I was getting more rest between, Iain wanted me to make sure I tried not to stop anywhere during rounds.
Last time I did 5 rounds with 2 minutes rest between and averaged 4 minutes per round, this is how this session went
1st Round - 2:31, 2nd - 2:39, 3rd 2:39, 4th - 2:45 !!
So more than a minute taken off my time!!
I was very pleased with these times, well once I had recovered, as these were very hard 2 1/2 minutes work !!
So, I am definitely progressing, with my capacity for working, although I am starting to take a huge dislike to wall climbs :-)
FRIDAY 28th JUNE
A. Close grip Bench Press - 3-3-3
which looked like this - 10@40kg, 8@50kg, 6@60kg, 5@70kg and 3 x 3 @80kg
B. Normal grip Bench Press - 5@60kg, 3 @70kg and 3x3 @80kg
I thought I might of managed heavier than this, and did try 85kg, but got stuck under bar on 2nd rep, luckily someone was at hand to help me get it back up, to be fair, me bursting out laughing once it was sitting on my chest didn't help !!
C. 10 minute EMOM
EVEN minutes - 30 second handstand hold
ODD minutes - 5-13 Ring Press Ups
After the first set of handstand holds, they completely fell apart, but I did practise some more after the 10 minutes, it seems I was just starting too far away from the wall.
The ring Press Ups, I did in sets of 10 for each round.
SATURDAY 29th JUNE
A. Thrusters - heavy doubles from the rack
I did 8@30kg, 6@40kg, 5@50kg, 5@60kg, 3@70kg and 3 x 2 @75kg
B. 80 X 24kg Kettlebell snatches, no more than 5 reps (per hand)each at a time and 40 reps each hand, starting with and every minute on the minute 5 wall balls.
Now, as I said I haven't done snatches, well 'hard style' ones anyway, for a while, but decided this would be the quickest and best 'style' for this task.
TIME - 4:40, with the snatches getting done in the remainder of the minutes like this - 20,20,20 12, 8.
I was pleased with this, but will definitely be adding more snatches into my training as this was down on what I used to be capable of, I should of easily got this done in 4 rounds, not 5, but there is always improvements to be made, everywhere.
So, another 3 sessions, out of the way and rest day tomorrow, which I always like, but especially when it's on a Sunday.
I will do some mobility work and maybe a little technique on some things, but nothing too taxing, as I already know what Monday has in store !!
Hope you all have a great weekend
Craig
