10/31 training

Pretty shitty session today, I am not sure if I am not recovered from this past Mondays session or I am just having a shitty training week in general.  Was hoping to do some 36 and possibly 40 kg getups today but the 32 felt so heavy, even on my usually strong right side, that I decided to keep the max TGU weight at 32kg. I am going to start programming my training 3 weeks increasing intensity 1 week backing off like I did for a long time.  I think I got carried away with training instinctively and have been pushing 90%+ for too many sessions in a row.  I'm also gonna split my training like this:

Monday Getups and Swings
Tuesday - Bodyweight work - Handstand pushups against wall, Narrow grip palms in pullups, bodyweight squats, pushups

Thursday Getups and Swings
Friday - Bodyweight work - Handstand pushups against wall, Narrow grip palms in pullups, bodyweight squats, pushups

Today:

Getups - 12kg x 2, 16 x 2, 24 x 1, 28 x 1, 32 x 1, 32 x 1-right, 28 x 1 left
2-hand Swings 20 rounds of 7 reps with 40kg bell
1-arm swings - 15 seconds on 15 seconds off for 10 minutes alternating 16 and 18 kg bell.

The 1-arn swings felt brutally awkward since I haven't practiced them in months.  Sometimes we have bad training days and this was one of them!  I'm not too worried because every valley is usually followed by a peak!

10/24, 10/28 training and food journal

Instead of posting my food all day on fb I figure it is better to post it here in my blog.

10/28 food

8am - 2 raw eggs post training

11am - steak

10/24 training

Did 6 rounds of 24kg right side get up followed by 10 24kg swings, same on left side for 6 total rounds.  Just an easy workout before this weekends HKC.
Couple of minutes of static-crow holds.

10/28

Still surprisingly sore from this weekends HKC, showing my age as we did not really train that much, it was mostly learning.  Getups felt heavy and I realized I should hold back the intensity after even the 28kg felt heavy.  Left side felt very bad.  Swings felt decent.  Threw in some new stuff

TGU - 12kg, 16kg x 2, 24kg x 2, 28 kg x 2, 32 kg x 2, 36kg right side x 2 - 28kg left side x 2.
Swings on the :50 mark, 15 rounds with the 36kg bell after a few warmups with the 24kg.
Partial handstand pushups - used some cut up mats, 8 mats deep for some partials.  Was unsure of my strength levels.  Was going to do 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 reps but found that too easy and did, 5, 4,4, 3, 5 reps.  I can probably deepen the exercise and do 5,4,3,2, 1 next time.

Hands up pushups - 4 sets of 10 reps

I've been busy lately which is why I am not keeping up with my blog as often as I usually do.

My upper back started feeling funky early in the week so I decided to take a few days easy and throw in a heavy day at the end of the week if I felt better.  Worked pretty well as I banged out a sweet 36kg getup on my right side and a 32kg getup on my left side, both PR's :)
