Today was the first day I added snatches to a workout. I have been practicing them for a few weeks and had Tim help me get my form down but today was the first day I incorporated them into a workout. I didnt want to over do it the first time so I kept it minimal.

Snatches w/16kg 5L/5R on min for 5 mins

Two handed swings w/32kg 10 on min for 10 mins

Pushups 10 on min for 5 mins

Today I was feeling pretty drained from a busy day yesterday so I just had a very light workout.

Swings: 10L/10R w/24 on min for 6mins

Then I did some KB push ups. I didn't really count how many. Just did sets of 5 to 10 until tired. Probably did about 5-6 sets.

Tomorrow, hopefully I will feel a bit more lively and can get a solid cardio day in.....

Same story different day....been pretty lax on posting my training but am getting back on board with it. Last post I made I stated I was on the uphill swing of getting my diet back under control and have made some pretty good progress over the last few days. For anyone who gets stuck in a slump you just have to keep reminding yourself it is another day tomorrow with a fresh start to training, diet, or whatever you are working to discipline yourself in. As with many people, I can beat myself up over eating bad for a day....which then leads to another day and then another, but you just have to remind yourself to get back on that horse because tomorrow is another day. To quote some stupid movie I have seen in the past...."Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life...." You just have to keep this mentality and keep getting back on that horse if you fall off.....

Todays workout:

Getups 5mins x2 w/24

C&P ladders w/24s 1,2,3 x3

Squats w/24s 3x3

Rows 5L/5R x3 w/24

Well I have not been that dedicated to posting my progress on this blog because I have been busy and when I am not busy I am to lazy to post.....with that being said, training has been going well but I am having to work hard to get my diet under control. I am having to many cheat meals. I attribute this to being busy and needing quick meals on the go. I am getting back on track though so without anymore mindless rambling....

Todays workout:

Swings 10 on minute for 12 minutes w/32kg

Pushups 10 on min for 10 mins

Todays workout

Today I was running short on time so I just had an intense swing routine, well intense for me....

My goal was 10 mins on min 10L/10R swings with 24.....I lasted the first 6 minutes and then had to slow down to 10 swings a minute. I went for 14 minutes instead of ten to get the same volume of swings in since I was only doing 10 swings each set for the last 8 minutes.

Total swings: 200 in 14 mins

WOD 3/11/09

It felt good to hit the bells again today after taking a few days off. Todays workout:

TGU: 5 mins w/24

Rows 5L/5R x3 w/24

Sunday workout

After a bad week of getting hung up on eating junk and not training because of a sore shoulder, yes I know it was my fault, Paul and I hit it hard as ever on our normal Sunday meets.

Todays workout:

TGU: 20 minutes with 24 alternating sides each rep.

Swings: Top of the minute 10 two handed swings w/24 for 25 minutes. We started with 20 swings per minute but dropped that fast because we could not keep the pace going for all 25 minutes. Including the first sets of 20 we did 270 total swings.

Pretty solid workout....ready for a new week to start to get back to eating right and training harder than ever....

Todays workout:

TGU: 5mins x2 w/24

C&P: Ladders 1,2,3 x3 w/24s

Rows: 5L/5R w/24

WOD 3/2/09

Today was a normal cardio day. I left my 24s in the car last night after coming home from Raleigh and it was snowing out so instead of one handed swings w/24 I did:

2 Handed swings w/32 10 on min for 15mins

Pushups 10 on min for 10 minutes

Solid day....looking forward to strength day tomorrow....
