Heavy swings and sore hands.......

Due to commitments later in the week i have had to shuffle things this week and despite the snatch test last night - the schedule said 1hd swings so thats what i did and boy was this a test - i could hve given up from about the 2nd set but i kept goig and to be fair it got better (it never got good - just better!)
Went like this -

10L x 5 10R x 5 16kg 1hd swings (alternating sets)
12/12 x 10 20kg 1hd swings
6/6 x 10 24kg 1hd swings

Rested extra 2 mins every 5 sets as much for my f*cked hands s anything!!

This was as hard as it gets - my head was telling me to quit after 2 sets and it was a game of cat and mouse after that - "just 1 more set and ill stop" all the way to the end

Well pleased with that - rest tomorrow

After last nights successful snatch test - I thought this was appropriate!
Loving my kettlebells at the moment!

kettlebell complex...........

as i am aiming to do a snatch test on tuesday - i decided to ease back a bit today BUT wanted to get the full benefit of a shorter workout - so decided to try a complex.......

went like this-

10/10 swing
10/10 snatch
10 goblet squat
10/10 c/p
10/10 row
5 half press ups

all the above with 12kg bell around 4 mins work to 2 min rest x 4

to say this was very light i was suprised just how much it took out of me!
this might be one for the plan as time goes on....
