Somewhat typical of Sunday workouts for me is the slow start they usually get off to and this was no different. I have had some solid efforts this past week and so it is natural things are moving slowly.

The plan was to do DE back squats but it took a little while to get to that point. Time needed to be spent on a good warm-up which I did and consisted of,

Sit-ups, 3×30
Back Extensions, 2×20
Reverse Hypers, 2×20
Kettlebell Half Swings, 2×10, and concluded with some light
Back Squats, 45×10/45×10/90×6, which got me ready for,

DE Back Squat doubles, % if 1RM
60%, 185#, 2×2
65%, 202#, 2×2
70%, 217#, 2×2
75%, 235#, 2×2
80%, 250#, 2×2
85%, 265#, 2×2

Could have stopped there but didn’t…

Overhead Presses, 45×10/65×10/90×5/90×5/90×5.
Overhead Squats, 45×5/65×5/90×5/90×5/90×5.

Finally…

Kettlebell Swings, 24kg., 3×10/10
Kettlebell Snatch, 24 kg., 4×5/5

Time to leave before I find something else to do!

  4. To LockoutJ. Curry showed up ready to go for Thursday's snatch-o-rama. We had a lot of activity back in the corner with kettlebells and Indian clubbells. There was also plenty of good energy back in that corner which precluded a good lifting session. This is what I got done: Squat Snatch...
