Double Get-Up

October 29, 2008
Today is my easy day! Did some bottoms up get-ups and decided to try and get off of the ground with two 8kg bells. Here is how it went. Both arms up in getup position, Right knee bent. Actively sit up into piston with both bells locked out overhead, perform piston maintaining vertical lockout. Descend back down slowly to starting position. Next leg. Just unsure if anyone has done this exercise.

Already enjoying the ballistics. Finishing with 2-2.5 seconds, could probably do 9 reps per 20 sets. I believe the double heavy clean and swing practice are making this bell move. Also picked up time focusing on taming the arc as per Rifs blog yesterday.

Accidental recovery

October 7 2009
No workout today!
Free message today from my friend and message therapists Rachel. She does unbelievable work! I'm also ready to start the new program tomorrow.

Thanks to Franklin Herman I now have a new way to teach good mornings and romanian dead-lifts. Today I had a client who could not control RDL form. A few sets of tubings good mornings and problem solved. I will now use this as active warm up with some clients. Thanks Franklin.

SSST

Monday October 6, 2008


SSST
24kg
150 Snatches 10 minutes

I realized that I need more Ballistics work. Snatches were all perfect form, did not need the puke bucket. Definitely could have pushed harder on another day.

New program time.
