WM, SW

Today, Friday

walk (in the rain)

WM: 16 kg x 3L/R - feeling tired and cold, enough, left arm still shaky overhead

SW: 32 kg x 8's on the :55, 12 sets = 96 swings.  Still not enough in fingertips, maybe time to switch back to 28 or 24 kg for a little while and build back up again.  Breathing/timing iffy here - really couldn't have done more without longer rests and still maintained nasal breathing during recovery.

Will stop for the day now, tomorrow maybe 1APU, maybe MP, definitely DL, likely no swings or only a few.

WM, SW, MP, 1APU, DL

Today, Thursday:

walk

WM: 16 kg x 5L/R - wobbly on left, and nerve/disc pressure for first 3 reps on right

SW:
44 kg x 1h x 5's on the :30, 8 sets - not much swinging going on, just trying to hang onto the weight, 40 reps

rest 1 extra minute

32 kg x 1h x 8's on the :45, 6 sets, 88 total swings

1APU: @ 12" x 2L/R, 2L/R

DL: 285 conventional, all singles, all quick drops, all stand-up resets

x 1, 1 double over
x 1, 1 right under
x 1, 1 left under

I continue to experiment with my start, and it continues to work best if I stand a little behind the bar and let my knees come forward a little so that I get a better push.  Wasn't feeling especially tight on form, but really dialed it in for the final rep - focused on gripping with 4th and 5th fingers, on screwing feet into the ground, and the weight came up pretty quickly.

Variety - WM, StC, FSQ

Wed - variety day, mobility and abs

WM: 14 kg x 5L/R

SkinTheCat on the rings w/ angled front lever hold x 1

FSQ: Empty bar x 2

StC sequence again x 1 - better this time, stayed tighter into bottom, so better coming out of it.

WM, GSQ, SW, 1APU, MP, DL

Today, Tuesday

WM: 14 kg x 4L/R

GSQ: 32 kg x 3

Carry the double bass this morning also felt like it benefitted from doing regular swings

x 1, 1 - left under, light touch-n-go

Trying to take out the slack, then get a good push to start, then keep everything back and not let the knees come forward midway through the lift
