Today a light training session. My mind is saying yes, but my body is saying no, so I'm trying to be smart here.

80 total reps in a 5/4 format.

End of week 10.
 
After 10 weeks of Q&D I took a week off. I did some light cardio and stretching everyday.

Today was the first of a second run of Q&D. For the next couple of weeks I'll only do the 10/2 protocol. So that means I only have to roll the die twice. The first one for the Total number of series and the second roll will determine if I do one or two hand swings.

And I'll add something new: after Q&D I'll do one set of Goblet Squats and one set of ab wheel rollouts. Every session I end with some light stretching.

After my experiment with the Q&D 10/2 protocol which lasted 8 weeks, I gained 1,2kg of bodyweight.

After that I've focused on some light running and now I'm back to combine Q&D and running.

First roll determines the total volume.

Fourth roll determines whether I do the pushups on my palms or fists.
 
I just started Dry Fighting Weight, after completing Simple and more than six months of Q&D.

Since 16kg kettlebells are the only ones I have in a pair and because they are a bit light for me, I came up with the following:

Week 1:

Day 1: Ladders. 3, 5, 7
Day 2: Sets of 3
Day 3: Sets of 5

Week 2:

Day 1: Ladders. 3, 5, 7
Day 2: Sets of 3
Day 3: Sets of 7

Week 3:

Day 1: Ladders. 3, 5, 7, 9
Day 2: Sets of 5
Day 3: Sets of 7

Week 4:

Day 1: Ladders. 3, 5, 7, 9, (11)
Day 2: Sets of 5
Day 3: Alternate between sets of 7 and 9 if possible.

Week 5:

Day 1: Perform 7×7.
Day 2: Perform a new RM with the same kettlebell(s) you used for the previous 4 weeks. Or you may go up to a heavier kettlebell(s) and perform a new RM

Just finished Week 1 Day 1. Not too hard, not too easy. I actually like the higher reps.

I'll keep you posted!
 
Did the first double LCCJ training session today. 30 minutes with 2x24kg.

I do kickboxing 2 or 3 times a week and I also run 1 or 2 times a week.

After several months of Q&D I was ready for something different and I plan to alternate the above two programs every 8 weeks.

I will keep track of it in my training blog. how it contributes to my kickboxing training.
