It's been 3 weeks of pushing Swings and Getups

...which makes next week a back-off week where I will cycle back the intensity a little bit.  Back-off week is here just in time because I am feeling a little bit fried. I actually considered skipping todays workout but I figured if I could get through it I would have 2-3 whole days off to recover.   It's hard to believe that I can overtrain working out less than 45 minutes a day 4-5 days a week but it is starting to feel that way as the 3rd week closes.  Next week I'm going to focus on complexes and attempt to train at about 85% intensity. 

Todays workout was again 8 rounds of 45 seconds work/1:15 rest of 1-arm swings with the 24 kg bell.  I'm definitely getting stronger at the 1-arm swing but I know I still need a ton of work.  Feels good to move this bell with no fear of dropping it :)
 
After the swings I did 10 Kettlebell getups with the following weights:  12k x 2, 16 kg x2, 18 kg x 2, 24 kg right side only x 2 + 2 more rounds left side with the 18 kg bell.
