I'm 57 and I'm making the transition from 32kg to 36kg. Today it was 40@32 and 60@36.
I'm curious of anyone else is in this age range and driving heavier on the swing?
I'm currently squatting and dead lifting a linear progression starting very light and working 5lbs a session and lifting 3 times a week. This is to rehab from my MCL tear in the right knee. In addition to these two movements I'm alternating swinging and cleans each session. I've never done cleans before so I figured it was a good time to try mixing them into my program. (Plus my trainer wants to see me do them since she taught me, hahaha.)
After a couple of weeks of this I'm noticing my swing strength is actually improving on the once and twice a week schedule. This implies to me the extra days of recovery are needed.
I'm curious how are others scheduling their swing progress as they move above 32kg. Are you everyday, three or four days a week, even less?
Thanks!
