Family life was the priority today and I was cool with that...
It certainly wasn't the end of the world as I have the worst DOMS in my delts and lats - so swings are now rescheduled for Monday pm
Bring it on

shoulders and back - ketlebells only.......

what a shit hot workout - looks like the barbell work is paying off and i am definately getting stronger !!
whats more no pain in my left shoulder (a little discomfort but nothing compared to workouts of late)
went like this -
shoulders
10/10 x 2 12kg military press
10/10
9/9
8/8
7/7 16kg military press - ALL STRICT!
6/6
5/5
4/4 20kg military press - ALL STRICT!
3/3+2/2+1/1 20kg military press superset - ALL STRICT!
massive improvement here no push presses - not needed.....

back
10 x 4 dbl 16kg bent rows
10/10 x 4 20kg bent rows
5/5/5/5 x 4 24kg bent rows
this was really strong - barbell work paying off here too i reckon

heavy swings v02 stylee......

so reset pressed and workout done - was very tough as my hip was all out
of line therefore painful and uncomfortable from start to finish - but
its done all the same and i feel invigorated if nothing else....

went like this -
10 x 10 16kg 2hd swings 15/15
1 min rest
10 x 10 20kg 2hd swings 15/15
1 min rest
10 x 5 24kg 2hd swings/1 min rest x 4

so 400 swings - 8400kg lifted/swung - despite the pain - all is good

Push the button.......

reset....................

after a slightly off week last week, all be it i didnt miss any workout and hit each and every goal on the nose - the will just wasnt there!
this week has been a different matter - had some disturbing news over the weekend which resulted in having to have our dog of 16 yrs put to sleep and if im honest im heartbroken - so i missed a couple of planned workouts and spent time with the family working through it - i guess this is part of life and these things will always come and try me and test me - so i wont beat myself up about missed workouts, sets and reps

I WILL JUST PRESS THE BIG RED RESET BUTTON

so back at it tonight with powerswings - and/or heavy swings not sure yet will depend on how i feel/how my hip is behaving

just for note -

missed high volume swings
missed v02/heavy swings

thats it sng

shoulders and back...........increase weight not volume

todays workout again nearly didnt happen - had a rough day and some bad
news and really just felt like dwelling on things and taking it easy but
i pulled my finger out and went for it all the same -
went a lot like this-
shoulders
5/5/5/5 x 2 12kg kb military press
10 x 2 dbl 16kg kb military press

36kg x 8 x 2 bb military press
38.5kg x 6 x 2 bb military press
41kg x 6 bb military press

back
10 x 2 dbl 16kg kb row
5/5/5/5 x 2 24kg kb row

38.5kg x 8 x 3 bb row

shoulders were not easy and my left side is still sore and uncooperative
but as i got into the bar presses i moved the grip about a bit and found
a comfy position (slightly narrower than should be comfortable!)
back work was NICE i really like back work and i can feel every rep
working where it should
thats all

Week 12 powerswings.....

Should have been a cut back week - but as I missed a workout 2 weeks ago I did a full session and despite not feeling much like it after work it went very well.....

Like this -

20 x 10 20kg powerswings
10 x 8 24kg powerswings

10 x 10 double 16kg cleans

Felt strong as - but also very cumbersome? Not sure why just bloated and uncomfortable

Hey ho great session all the same
