Last night after a bout with some stomach problems I decided to suck it up, hold it in, and do a work out. Following the advice provided by the Stefanos at AKC Long Island I went for 10 minutes per arm with the 24kg 1 arm LCCJ. I was able to pump out 80 reps per arm. I realized I made a mistake and forgot to put my wrist wraps on. I noticed the discomfort really causing a problem around minute 3 on each arm. I thought about taking a break and throwing them on, but I hate stopping on a set. I kept it short and sweat. For my warm up I did 1 minute swings per hand for a total of 2 minutes per hand. I hope to accomplish the elusive 10 minute LCCJ with 2 24's in the near future.
Today
The focus was on lighter weight higher rep sets.
Warmup: The usual arm, neck, shoulder, hip, and knee rotations. I am starting to implement jump ropes more often so I did a few sets to get the blood flowing. I need a lot of work on that.
60 swings per hand 16kg bell.
3 minutes X 1 minute rest with 2 16kg bells
LCCJ 33 reps
Clean 51 reps
Jerk 36 reps
Snatch (3 min. per arm) 50 L/47 R
5 minutes or so of rest
TRX has the 40/40 Challenge with atomic pushups and inverted rows so I decided to experiment.
I was able to do 12 atomic push ups then needed a rest. I broke the rest of the reps into sets of 10 for a total of 40. I would like to try this without being fatigued.
For the inverted rows I was able to knock out 35 in a row.
For some reason I have a much stronger back than chest and tri's.
To finish up I did a farmer walk sequence where at every turn around point approximately 40 yards I did 10 squats with the 16's. The bells stayed off of the ground the whole time. Approximately 5 minutes total time.
Overall it was a good workout. I could feel last nights workout a bit but, I was able to hang on through the sets.
