2/24 & 2/25 training

Took a week off to get over some sort of illness that got me stuck in bed for 2 days followed by 5 days of feeling congested and tired.  Did a couple of lightish break-in sessions these past 2 days, feeling pretty decent.

I hardly do any complexes in my training but this particular one seemed to fit my needs since I am putting a good deal of energy into making my cleans better and am also squatting for the first time in years.  In addition to the complexes I am also practicing Getups, Weighted Hammergrip pullups (no weights till next session) and hands-up pushups.

Here's the blog post from The Chief I got these complexes from.

training update

No idea why I have been so flaky blogging my training in recent months.  I've been training regularly and things were going good until early this week when I got sick.  Feeling much better now but probably not training again until Monday.  Whatever I caught took me off my feet for 2 days and a few days later I still feel fatigued.

My last session was this previous Monday 2/17

Clean and Press w/pair of 24kg bells - 3 ladders of 1,2,3,4, reps.  The presses felt good but the cleans were sluggish as shit.  I think I was already sick at this point but didn't realize it until the end of the day.
2 hand swings (5-6 lighter weight warmup sets)  32kg x 10 reps on the minute for 10 minutes
Swiss ball pushups 5 sets of 5 reps with feet elevated about a foot.  Next step with these pushups is to see if I can do any with my feet and hands on a ball.
Hammer-grip pullups - 1,2,3,4 reps with 12 lb chain on neck
Front Squats w/double bells (# indicates total kilos) 16kg, 24, 32, 44 x 5 reps,  48kg x 5 sets x 5 reps

I have not squatted under any sort of load since my mid 20's so I am slowly working my way into these Front Squats..  I don't think I will ever do any back squats as I feel that it puts too much compression on my spine.  I think I have one of those glass spines Pavel has written about.  I have not had a problem with my lower back for almost 2 years and I want to keep that trend going.  Like anything else I am going to go as heavy as I can and make progress a priority with these squats but I am going to do it at as low of intensity as I can handle.  Max's 80% rule sounds about perfect for my introduction to heavy front squats.
