16kg swings wk into rest.....

Rested on Tuesday as the whole day shot by and the opportunity never arose!

Today was similar - non stop from 6am til 8pm - but managed to train and shower before 9

16kg wk into rest as follows -

24 2hd x 5 sets
12/12 x 5 sets
6/6/6/6 x 5 sets
12 sw/tr x 5 sets
24 tr x 5 sets

This was real tough - it was very hot and stuffy - rained 10 mins after I finished
Some stiffness/soreness in lower back/mid section - I think this was left over from the doubles on Monday night

Other news - although diet has seemed better weighed in today and gained 4lb WTF?!?

Will weigh in again tomorrow check if it's any different -shoulders/back and legs could be swollen/retaining water ? But who am I kidding more than likely just been eating too much and not thinking about it

That's all sng

so training is going well .......... how to sort the rest??

still managing to train fairly consistently - having to listen to my body occasionally and also having to accept that i have a young family and at times it wont always happen just as i would like (thats the hard bit!) - and im pleased with the way it is going

and you guessed it there is a big BUT here

BUT i really havent got my eating sorted - i do well on the IF plan (16/8) 33-4 days per week but come friday it falls apart and friday to sunday i eat a regular (for us) family eating pattern - none of which is the major problem
the biggest problem is controlling what i put in my mouth - i have little or no self control - if some one offers or the oppurtinity arrises im straight off the plan and the crap flows
JUST CANT STOP IT NO MATTER WHAT I DO - I THINK NO! BUT THEN DO YES!

its getting to me - im better than this and i can do it BUT why cant i keep my head in the right place

anyway rant over back to work

Vo2 max training in the heat.......

Rested yesterday as I had trained 3 days on the bounce - felt better for it and slept well too

Today was the hottest day of the year so far and the difference between training tonight and a week ago was unbelievable - last week it was 6c and heavy rain, tonight was 23c and lazing sun!

The result? Workout was shortened to just the vo2 traing with no finisher - the heat just finished me off
Training as follows -

W/up 16kg swing 5/5/5/5 x 3 sets

32 sets Vo2 snatch - 15/15 7 reps per set
16 min 224 reps

Bugger my I'm hot and tired - nice to train in the garden rather than the garage though

That's all sng
