Strength is a skill" -Pavel Tsatsouline "Don't take this practice too seriously but train like your life depends on it." -Pattabhi Jois "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee
Every 4th week I back off on my overall intensity and workload. This is my 8th week working the 1-arm swing and getup progressions so it is time to pull back a little. This week I plan on doing hi-pulls instead of 1-arm swings. I'm also going to make it a point to only do a few getups instead of the usual 5-7. I also plan on using smaller weights than usual. That's fine by me because my lower back feels a little tight. I have a feeling that I have had this sensation in my back just before I hurt it badly about 1 1/2 year ago. I'm not going to ignore this sign and there is a good chance I may even skip my next kettlebell workout.
I did KettlebellHi-Pulls for 5 rounds on the minute for 7/7 reps using the following weights: 12kg, 16, 18, 24 x 2. I followed that with 5 rounds on-the-minute for 7/7 reps using the exact same weights.
I demonstrated a few 24 kg getups this weekend, both at my bootcamp and while teaching an impromptu class to a few students at VMAC (my friends karate and bjj school). I have a feeling I pulled something in my back while showing off. Either that or hauling the bells from place fucked me up a little bit. I only did 3 rounds of Kettlebell Getups. I used the 12 kg bell, the 16 and finished with the 24 kg bell.
