The first five sets my shoulders ached.  The last five my back.  Wind was good!

Even Zombie's need to get strong...

Swings
20kg
5/5/5/5 x 15
In 16 minutes.

300 total reps.

Good snap in the hips.  My 'girdle' felt kind of pumped. No too winded really.

Swings
24kg
5/5/5/5 x 15

In St. Louis last week.  Just an easy "bridge" workout to get back into the 'swing' of things. (Got a new boss the week before and wound up working late most of the week.)

Swings
28 kg
5/5/5/5 x 13

260 reps

15:06:99
Peak: 160 bpm
Avg: 141 bpm
Min: 92 bpm
Recovery: 25 bpm
In zone:  13:34
Calories: 334

I'm using a different heart rate monitor than I'm used to.  I used to use a Polar which gave me so much more information.  However, I burned through a couple trying to change the battery.  I just don't see going through the expense of shipping etcetera.  Timex however does let me change batteries.  It also has a feature that will beep when I go outside my target zone.  This will be useful when I start training for mitochondrial genesis.

Interesting that I hit 334 calories.  That's the equivalent of the two Mountain Dews I had today.  Ten of those type of workouts and I'll have burned off a pound ;-)

The 28 kg is tough on my grip...I felt it slipping towards the end.  I've really regressed.

Running the bells - lackadaisically

Warm up:
Snatches
16kg 5/5 x 3
Indian Clubs

Six rounds:
Snatches
16 kg 5/5
20 kg 5/5
24 kg 5/5

Total = 105/105

I was more interested in performing this as a strength drill and so took my time.  The 24 kg fires the core in a way the lighter bells don't.

N' ice N' easy ;-)
