Tom’s Practice Log

NTS: Make next session a light one, focusing purely on form. Practice ‘To Elbow’ on both sides repeatedly using a light weight (20kg), aim to nail rolling through on left side and get rid of the tendency to do a semi sit-up.

So, I’m toying with the idea of getting a 28kg bell. I’m pushing out full sets with the 32kg, but not feeling like I’m owning it yet. The 24kg feels too light now, and I expect the 28kg would be on the sweet spot. I’m thinking of using the 28kg on days when I want to deload and concentrate on technique. What do you think?

Warm Up:
PGS - 3 x 5_24kg,

1 - Arm Swing Practice: 7m, 0s
8 x 10_24kg. 2 x 10_32kg. First swings feeling uncoordinated, not getting the snap through the hips; remaining sets much better.

2 minute rest:

Turkish Get Up: 10m,
8 x 1_24kg. 2 x 1_32g. All 24kg reps feel strong, 32kg (right) also feels good, 32kg (left) starts poorly, again. I’m not driving and rolling through to the sit properly; the rest of the move is solid though. For the extra rep I must be fully focused on driving with my left leg whilst rolling through onto my right hip, all the while remembering to keep my shoulder packed and my chest proud.

TGU Plus (Left): 1 x 1_32kg. Much stronger through to the sit.

TGU Plus (Left): 1 x 1_32kg. Better.

To finish:
Chin ups x 10.
