Got my training done even with the new puppy howling in the background. I am sure she will get used to watching me train. I want her to be able to sit quietly in the room with me while I train. Today I leashed her to a kettlebell and she yelped for about half the session but was quiet for the 2nd half. A serious test of focus doing getups with all that shrieking.
I'm in the 4th week of what would typically be a 4 week cycle but I am going to do one additional week of this hi-pull/getup routine. Dealing with a few minor injuries slowed me down a little and I want to catch up next week. My right arm is much better but I didn't want to push too hard it today so I did 16 kg 1-arm swings on my right arm for all 10 sets. As usual I did 5 sets on the 2nd minute and 5 sets on the minute. With my left side I used the 24 kg bell for all sets except for the very last set which I used my 18 kg bell. I am definitely feeling stronger in the backswing (even after dropping the bell last week lol) which is why I started substituting hi-pulls for 1-arm swings. I want to start doing 1-arm swings with a 28 kg bell but I will need to buy one first :(
I also PR'd Getups - 5 sets both sides with the 24 kg bell. I rested for 90 seconds or less between sets. I didn't want to rush the rest periods but I wanted to make sure this was a legit 5 sets and I wasn't taking "stay fresh" too far.
