Thanks

Double 16kg Sots press 2x2/2 Much easier

24kg LCCJ Medium Day
3 x 2, 4, 6 11minutes

Form was on, but was so tired this morning I almost skipped. There is one reason I didnt miss. In Enter the Kettlebell Pavel says dont miss your presses, skip a meal, dont sleep whatever you do dont skip your presses. This is always inthe back of my mind and I dont miss workouts.

On another note, when I got to work Tuesday morning at 5:40 am my wife called to let me know an intruder was trying to get in the front door. She called 911 and of course they were gone bye the time the cops arrived. I left at 5:20; so I believe somebody watched me leave.

Soreness, Bugs and Training

Legs and arms feeling some soreness from shooting just the swing and swing variations on Sunday. Tons of swings have not been a big part of the diet lately but realize that they straighten my body out much more than I thought after all of the LCCJ and level II drills. I cant imagine how this body felt before finding the RKC and all that comes with it.

What bugs?
Spending money on education, free time practicing what you learn and read because your passionate and love training and movement. Co-workers not re-educating, taking what they see you do and applying it to their clients not undertanding why its being done or even care, not making neccessary corrections and teaching it incorrectly.
Do you offer help when the trainer has free time and encourage the RKC?
Yes!
What if this goes on forever with the same people?

Was a little upset about my 4 month old son Finn who has a small hematoma type swelling on left forehead. He had an ultra sound today and there is no swelling in or around the brain. He will have to be sedated Tuesday for an MRI and cat scan. Its hard to see your child with the possibility of sedation and cranial surgery in the future.

Had to get a sweat before heading home.

2:15

The long cycles had much more of an effect than I thought. No POWER. I didnt feel tired going in but a little dead now.

GTG Variety

24kg/8kg stacked 1 arm press 5 sets x 1/1
First time doing these. They should be called lat finders or lat relocaters.

16kg pull-up 5 sets x 1

Hamstring stretch/ hip flexor quad stretch/leg swings
Piston 5 x 1/1

Completed all as a circuit. Taking my time focusing on every technical aspect of the movement.
36kg Press 1/1 Just to see how it differed from the stacking. Felt good.

Tomorrow Double 32kg LCCJ
