Training like the old-time strongmen

I have been busy with my new puppy lately so I forced to squeeze in workouts when I can get em.  Last night I did the clean and presses from the ROP, this morning I did a restart of the fighter pullup proram and this afternoon I did kettlbell getups. 

I'm on the 2nd day of the ROP using the 18 kg bell.  I wonder if this was too small of a starting weight because even the 5th set felt moderately easy.  I don't want to underestimate how hard it may be to do 5 sets of 5 reps (each side) with this bell so I figured I would stick with the program and slowly work up to it.  Today I did 2,2,3,4,5 reps.  Remember, a rep is a full clean and press and I do the same number of reps each side.  I closed that session with 3 reps using the 24 kg bell to see what it felt like.  Not too bad but still something of a rock.



Restarting a fighter pullup program as I took 2 weeks off pullups to nurse my fucked up elbow.  It's feeling about 80-90% so I figured I'm ready.  Today I did 5,4,3,2,2, reps
