Pushing Re Set



I haven't swung a kettlebell since last tuesday  and I feel it.It was a great weekend at the bodyweight cert except for my training :)) I walked more than ever( of late) and things worked well but I lost about 5 pounds the last week and it wasn't fat.
Time to get back on track. A wee bit of everything today.

5:30 am
stretchout and primal move. I still have to get back to my full hour stretchout, somehow, AND practice my PM move to prepare my video for my certification.At least now I will have some time. lot of work to do, though

1 pm 
one arm swings
16 kg x 5/5/ x3
20 kg x5/5 x 2
24 kg x 5/5 x 2
28 kg x 5/5/ x 4

these were tough at first. when I go this long without lifting or swinging my body forgets it so fast. I seem to lose 'connection' to my body way too easily. at least for strength. Movement stays but strength goes fast.

Snatch
16 kg x 5/5
20 kg x 5/5x3
24 kg x 5/5 x 3

these felt decent. The 24 actually didn't feel heavy after all that warmup.

KB press
20 kg x 5/5 x 4 sets

found a good groove here, too. will press the 24 on thursday.

two hand cb arm cast
15 x 10/10
25 x 10/10
35 x 5/5

DONE! These felt better than expected, even the 35er.Time to eat :))

It's amazing how fast strength goes in regards to kettlebells when not used-even for just a short time!
Good luck with the certification Mark!

Mark.....
very, very true!

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...
