20 kg Snatches

Ah, back to normal. Amazing what consistency in my training and life does for everything :)) A relatively easy day. 20 kg snatches in low reps, sets of 8/8. But the groove was solid the power was good and everything felt right.

30 min Am Stretchout

8 am
Snatches
16 kg x 5/5 x 2

20 kg x 8/8 x 10 sets
160 reps
7040 lbs

easy breezy :)) great to really just focus on one rep at a time. and being fast and powerful Tried to link up the punch through at the top with more rooting through the ground and it helped a lot

One arm swings
28 kg x 8/8 x 4 sets

just testing out the new Rogue 28 kg bell and the new Eleiko "Grippy" chalk. Both were great. The rogue bell DOES have a slightly wider window between the handle and the bell itself making for a minor difference in feel but nothing at all , really. GREAT handle and finish. Lightly textured and smooth at the same time. I know that doesn't make sense but that was the impression. No seams too and that is awesome. Probably have to get a 24 kg too for snatches. The handle held chalk very well,especially for right out of the box. Love this new brand .

The new Eleiko chalk was good but not great. A much finer feel to the powder, much less "thick" than the Metolious or the Ivanko. Good stuff but the Metolius will do just fine in lieu of the Ivanko in the future. Have 8 blocks of the Eleiko grippy coming in so I am more than set for awhile :))

Two hand Arm Casts
25 lbs x 10/10
35 lbs x 8/8
45 lbs x 5/5!

these felt strong!

Pushups on single bar
12, 12, 10!! all three personal bests of late. No shoulder issues at all. Nice

Supersetted with Scapula Pullups
3 sets of 6's

these felt great to do again. Really pulled with an arched back, head up legs back. Completely NON tactical style, which my body will tolerate it seems. Major Rule: go with what works regardless of what it looks like, or if anybody else will understand WHY you are doing it.  I will work these up to chin to bar not not above for awhile; another idiosyncracy  for my shoulders.

I need more mid back work to balance out the pec work,back to the 24 kg snatches next week.


datsit!
