Dropping all conditioning work for the summer

I lost a good amount of strength and muscle the past 2 months.  It took this long to fully recover from something painful in my teres minor and left knee. I also did some experimental ketogenic and vegetarian dieting which depleted the shit out of me.   Finally feeling 100% but feeling like a very skinny human :(   I've decided that I am going to spend the summer only doing slow-paced strength work.  I will as usual be  using the Program Minimum as a base for my program.  Back to swings and getups!  I got a 28 kg bell and am very excited to use it.  In the meantime I am coming back slow as is my method.

Getups - BW x 1, 4 kg  x 1, 8  x 1, 12  x 1, 16  x 2, 18 kgx 1

Swings - sets of 7 reps on the 2nd minute for 24 minutes - 12 kg x 3, 16 kg x 3, 24 kg x 3, 28 kg x 3
