It's going to be a crazy week schedule wise. So, I pushed my workouts together. I'm not sure whether that is the best strategy vs skipping a light workout. I'll try it and see.

After tweaking my back on Tuesday, I decided to back down to 5 sets of three reps and focus on form, especially keeping my back flat at the bottom of the double clean and maintaining tension from head to toe in the rack.

Been away for a five day windsurfing trip. No shortage of strength training given my low level of skill at that sport. I had to up haul the sail with practically each trip across the lake. I've got to work on my balance and turns.

I'm still experimenting with using WHM inspired breathing techniques between sets and finding some interesting things. What I did today between each workout set was 40 WH breaths followed by an inspiration breath hold. I felt the energy surge and waited a few seconds before my set. This creates a huge adrenaline surge and intensified my strength. Interesting.

Hey mate - really like you training regime! Mine is building into something similar of run + kettlebell work.

Had a question for you if I may... I've tried the WHM breathing technique for about 3 weeks in row - in the past. I've found that whilst I get good feelings from it - it's almost too much of a drain on my nervous system - what have your experiences been? (apologies for hi-jacking your log.....)
 
@kiwipete - not hijacking at all. I'm very interested and enthusiastic about the Wim Hof stuff but still figuring it out. I did the 10 week course and stayed very consistent. I did the breathing, yoga and cold showers everyday for ten weeks. I felt super energized, even a little manic at times. The only place that I've gotten into some trouble is in trying to use the breathing during my workouts. The breathing can generate so much adrenaline from me that I get over exuberant and reduce my rest periods between sets. That has pushed me into near overtraining and compromised my recovery from workouts. That coupled with all the other summer activities that I doing got to be a bit much. I've been trying to slow down a little bit over the past few weeks.

Things are about to get hairy with my schedule over the next two months. My wife has travel or activities scheduled almost every weekend. It may be hard to maintain a consistent program. I'm going to try to listen to my body and wave the load as needed to keep from getting injured. To those reading my log, don't be surprised if I back up on the Strong progression.

Okay, I completed ten sets of three and therefore the first phase of Kettlebell strong, but I'm resting two minutes after each set of clean and press and two minutes after each set of pull ups. I do one minute rests with my sets of two. I'm going to get that down to one minute rests with the sets of three before I go on to sets of four.
