Kettlebell Cleans, Hip Lift, Deadlift

Another cold winter's day here.

Decided, after watching my wife's cleans yesterday and telling her she needed to improve her form, that I'd practice mine today - another "park bench" workout day for me.

Clean:

20 kg x 3L, 3R

24 kg x 5L, 5R

28 kg x 5L, 5R - one of the right ones whacked too hard, others all OK, focus is all hips and no shrug

32 kg x 5L, 5R

36 kg x fail L, 5L, 5R - not enough hip snap on that first rep, set it down, started over, rest were fine

2 x 20 kg x 5

2 x 24 kg x 5, 5 - felt like this is as much as I have driving solely with hips, so a second set and done.


Hip Lift

315 x 1

405 x 1

495 x 3

585 x 2

655 x 2

725 x 2 - Video


DL: all touch-n-go today, all trying for speed, all double overhand grip

255 x 3, 3 narrow sumo

255 x 3 real sumo - first time this has actually felt good, and it felt very good
