Training, but not writing

After having accepted Adam Glass' challenge of training harder this month than any other in recent memory, to combat the December body-swelling epidemic, I have been busting a nut or three, but have been too lasy to write them in.

To save time and space, this is today's fun only:

Gripper training - 2 ladders, 4 rungs, from CoC T to 2.0, 4 reps apiece. Followed by Choked ladders, same sets and reps and resistance.

Warm-up - 24 kg kb + 5 lb plate taped on - one set of 5 of Swings+Cleans+Bent presses, done subsequently, 15 reps total, per side. Does the job.

Presses - 32 kg + 5 lb ankle weight & 24 kg kb + 5 lb plate taped on - a la RTK. 5 ladders, 5 rungs, switching weights after each ladder. Not including squats, as knees are not feeling 100% due to drastic temperature drop as of late (lots of damage from rough sports). But TGUs are allowing me to get some leg training in. Also, my genetics predispose me to being built like a pack horse, so leg strength and size is all to easy to develop. If anything, my legs have been growing from teh lack of work :P

Weighted Pullups - 20 kg and BW - same setup as last time I posted. Before, in between, and after ladders of presses. Single with weight followed by double with BW, first very strict, latter for speed and acceleration under control. Getting good results from these, and they nicely reset the shoulders for the next ladder.

Snatches - 24 kg + 5 lb plate taped on - 5 ladders left and right of 2/4/6. Still plodding along. Time to move up the ladders a bit. No hurry on these. Performing these every other day, so watching the volume. Really want to dial these in, and it is working well.

That was it. A protein shske, some eggs, and bed. Ciao for now.

Also, I have joined the snatch race officially at the following link: http://www.personaltrainingmanager.com/sc.asp?f=cp

Jump in, and watch your waist shrink.
