Been taking it easy and body seems to feel better for it.
Have decided to work in 40kg swings starting today and will access when to increase. The funny thing is that whilst my TGU is way stronger at lighter weights I can only put a 40 TGU up every once in a while whereas I can do sets of 10 swings easily given enough rest between sets.
Going forward I want to take a more focused approach to my overall health.
Diet is actually pretty good but my achilles heal (especially over lockdown) is beer as can give or take most alcohol but a love a good IPA and they usually come in a 6 pack. So less beer.
In addition to this will be focusing more on squat mobility which I've done in the past but has fallen by the weigh side since Xmas. I am still much better of than I was an will firstly focus on ankle mobility as this is a sticking point with me. Unfortunately goblet squats in the warm up are not enough for me as I'm pretty inflexible. They work my hips well but struggle to make inroads on the ankles with them. Plan to do mobility sessions daily in addition to S&S or whatever exercise for the next month. Hopefully, I will get stronger, reduce belly fat and increase ankle mobility in the squat postion.
Today’s session:
Swings: 10* 10 EMOM
32, 32, 40, 40, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32
1 minute rest.
TGU: 5 each side EMOM @ 32 kgs
This session felt good and the 5 -10 sets felt lighter after the 40 which itself felt very manageable. Glad I had been adding the snatch in previously as this felt hard as had to squeeze out extra power at the end of the set.
Will do mobility this evening per below.
Hi Everyone, I have put up another post in the Kettlebell section but this is a separate issue so I thought I should put this post here. My Squat mobility is very poor. I cannot get comfortably to depth without assistance (KB/Wall). I cannot even get to parallel performing a broomstick back...
