Hi.
I've decided to start a log to track my progress. Last year was a good year in terms of sticking to the programme and achieving simple. I also used KB strong and KB burn extreme, run 2 half marathons and did someath bjj.
This year my target is achieve SFG 1, take part in a tactical strength comp, practise Muay Thai and look at how I could attack the beast tamer later in the year and into 2018. The sfg is the main focus and I'll be working with an SFG twice a month to dial in technique.
I'm continuing with S and S until the end of this month and then I'll formulate a plan for rhe TSC. I've been reading deadlift dynamite and naked warrior over the Xmas break and so there's lots to absorb.

Great work @conor78 !

Just about stayed on the right side of the line where a workout gives more than it takes....
 
Flexible steel arm bar
OS rocks
10 sets of 5 double clean and press 28kg
Plenty of rest in between
The One program 15:45 2 ×24kg

Haven't done this in over a year and feel much much stronger and better conditioned. The one program whilst tricky wasn't leaving me in a puddle and gasping for air. Much stronger hip hinge due to heavier single arm swing from S and S.

Forgot how much I enjoyed KB strong...
 
OS Resets
Was going to run S and S with 40kg TGU and 48kg swing
Felt really zapped after first two sets of swings.dropped to 24kg and focused on tension and technique.
Did some progressions with OAPU and pistol...the pistol squats seems be a distance away are this point but it's not a priority, I'm enjoying the challenge.
TSC is clashing with a family event that I can't get out of...disaster..will have to adapt plans in light of this. Gutted.... but I'll go in August which just will be good prep for SFG...
 
Os resets

Practiced bent press 5 mins light weight this needs work but I dont want to feed my KB OCD any more fuel....

Need to food prep for weekdays
Eating too many carbs weekend
Heavy swings are tough and TGU is stuck at 40 kg afterwards.even then need to drop back to 32kg
Ed Coan programme too intense moving to PTTP 2 day a week for 4 week cycle
Think I've hit the sweet spot between PTTP S/S and life.
Resting hr down from 59 to 54
When using S andS at night i geneally sleep with no wake ups..(tracking with fitbit)
Deeper sleep is good.
Max pull up is 9..feels better when I'm around 15 stone..post xmas im about 15 stone 5lbs
Cant compete at April TSC will be at August TSC but going to train as if I'm competing in April and test lifts in an SFG gym on April 7th.
Enjoy 60 min LSS sessions...a good tonic on a Sunday..
