Day Seven of Thirty

[opabinia]

2-handed swing 3x12 @32kg
snatch 2x8 (RL) @24kg
hang clean 2x8 (RL) @32kg
chest-opening windmill 2x5 (RL) @24kg*

I've started using gloves for some of the KB work, to keep my hands from tearing open. This takes away some feedback, which would be a really bad thing if I weren't very familiar with the exercises. On the upside, sort of: The gloves force me to grip the 'bell even tighter, because that extra layer between the skin and the handle needs to be clamped still.

I think I'll run tomorrow, to give the joints a rest. No problems thus far, but no need to push my luck.

Seven days down, twenty-three to go.


* I tried doing these with the 32 as an anchor, but the ROM dropped to just a few inches. A real masochist would try this while standing on blocks, to free up a full movement.

When I did the two hand windmills, I let the bottom bell hit the floor and I bent my elbow to allow myself to go down further, and lift the bell off the ground on the way back up.

Good idea. Hmm.

My life is about to start sucking extra, extra extra. I just bought a bunch of used KBs off of a guy. I'm reselling most but keeping a 70. Double 70 work bites hard.
