16/9/16 - playing around with weights today and seeing where I am and where I can go with training.
Ideally I need something basic that covers most of my strength and GPP needs for martial arts, without leaving me sore or in need of more recovery (sorry RMFB - you're the right fit for old me, just not when I have a martial art!)
Practiced my patterns quite a lot today as well. Hardstyle.
I'm enjoying using double KBs again so I tried something a little drastic whilst playing around - heavy double push press with 32kgs.
Hit 4 reps and could have grinded a 5th one out. That hit's the requirement for me to run a cycle of KB STRONG with the DPP, hopefully with a move towards a stricter double press with it (hitting STRONG with 32kg C&P this year was my primary aim, which has been put on the back burner by injury).
That said going that heavy is probably a bad idea right now for being so new to martial arts so I might step back with the intensity of lifting. Going heavier right now seems pretty dumb.
Hinge, Press and pull can all be covered by C&P, I squat daily in my reset so don't need to add load to that (and can always warm up with a few prying goblet squats). I can add carries and jump rope for conditioning work and to get myself a bit lighter on my feet.
The frog sequence seems to be doing my hips some good and I might increase how often I do this.
So the slow and steady phase 2 KB strong program seems like a good fit. 24kgx2 is my 7RM (set today, feeling pretty under the weather though so whether I could have got another reps who knows).
16 weeks of simple programming. At least Tae Kwon Do can give me the variety I often crave.
My other option Is the new and old program minimum - that is alternating TGU/Swings with Bent Press/Snatch.
Aim for 70 snatches/session. 5 minute snatch test to progress.
I'll decide after the weekend
