Interesting first 20 min. sequence. May I ask why you don't alternate the 2hSW and pushups, sw-p/u-sw-p/u?

Sure, it's kind of like doing 5 rounds Q&D'ish. I like the way it cycles HR up a bit higher with two concurrent sets of swings, then gives more active rest time during pushups, also doing two consecutive pushup sets gives a little more pump for hypertrophy.
I've done it as you described also, just like to change things up now and then. These type sessions I view as busy work, getting something in as I rest for snatching and higher rep mace work, which are the meat of my program. That's not to say I don't value these sessions too, I do..

Thurs 1/28

Beach run 1 hr.. kinda.. had to walk a bit at 20 mins, calf was tightening up, slowly ran and finished .. weird outing but sumpin :/

 

[Neal Sivula]

Late to the sore calf party, but have you tried Voodoo Floss yet? You probably have some stretchy rubber around the shop that could be used in place of the genuine article. I'd never recommend it but it has always worked for me.
