The tide is still rising.

This is my favorite part of a cycle; when higher than ever training loads are adapted to and what was hard is now strong and easy.When you finish heavier or harder workouts than you have ever done and have plenty left in the tank.And know that you did overload enough to stimulate more adaptation but haven't paid too much for it.
While I jumped the gun on the push presses I seemed to have timed the swings and snatches well.New swing PR with the 32kg today and was strong the whole time.

One arm swings
16kgx5/5/5/5x3
24kgx5/5x2

32kgx10/10x17 sets
340 reps/ pr
24,480 lbs.

This was great. Groove was solid, power was high,the bell felt light and the workload comfortable.Can't ask for more.

Torch press
10lbsx5/5x2
15lbsx 5/5x2
Double press
2 15 lbsx5/5x3
Arm casts
10lbsx5/5x2
15lbsx5/5z2
cast to flag
10lbs x5/5
15lbsx5/5x3
double cast to flag
10lbsx5
15lbsx5x2
two hand circular casts
15lbs x12/12x3

These are a great finisher to the saturday workout and my shoulders,upper back and triceps are liking it as well.
Very happy with todays workout and can really feel the increased stretching paying off already.

almost tracyesque eh? lol, I can foresee 400 reps now.20 sets of 20. Have to be a good day though.

155 x 3 x 5, 160 x 3 x 5, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 40, 35

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
