Let's Get This Ball Rolling

Happy (Hopeful) New Year! 


 January 1, 2013

Not a ball buster, just starting (again). Trying to break free of the inertia. Per Andrea, just 10 -15 minutes of swings, snatches, or complexes for the next three weeks while I try to get work/stress under control.

Snatches

16kg x 5/5
20kg x 5/5

Five rounds with a minute rest between rounds for a total of 9 minutes.

Total = 50/50

Base weight taken yesterday is 259.4.

The New Year is coming!

I have completed my collection of kettlebells!

It is WAY more than I need at this time, but I just felt lead to help out a friend.  This past year has been a rough one for Dragon Door, and especially the Du Cane's with the loss of two parents, and of course the split.  But I feel confident that DD will rise from it all with a larger more sophisticated team of writers, instructors, products, etc.  I am looking forward to see what lies ahead. I am encouraged by what has been revealed with Al and Danny Kavadlo, and I can hardly wait to see what Jon Bruney and Max Shank (individually) have to share. So this is my way of saying "I'm with you Dragon Door".  This is my vote of confidence.  As a consumer I can only vote with my wallet and I did.

Swings
24kg; 12 x 5/5/5/5/5
Left, Double, Right, Double, Left
300

Home late and not really motivated.

1.  Swami's at 257 and I'm at 261.  I'm writing that here to memorialize it forever.  GOOD WORK SWAMI!

2.  I've been putting in a lot of hours at work.  Staff meetings and dinners last week, KT was sick on Friday (still worked, but from home), worked Saturday too.
This morning I took my BP and pulse - 140/81 and 93/min.  I'm sure that this job will kill me.

3.  I've been screwing around for almost 5 years now, and I've not really done anything meaningful.  What a waste of time: Scoundrel's-1st ala Big Boys

Lots going on at work....so just looking to punch the clock.  Not very consistent. I felt exceptionally well today for some reason.

Swings
20kg; 16 x 5/5/5/5/5
Left, Double, Right, Double, Left
400
18:30, which is accurate for a :40/:30 work/rest ratio

TGU's
16kg; 5 x 1/1
In 5:00

OACJ
12kg; 20/20
In 4:00

I had to step back on the load of the swings.  It's been awhile and I had tried the 28kg earlier in the week, and immediately regretted it. The Tgu's and one armed long cycle are baseline after not having done them in forever.
