No promises on daily posts; however, I would like to maintain a more robust digital log of my journey. I have lots of paper logs filled out at home as I’ve been working out and progressing. Anyhow, here’s to getting the online journal back in shape.
Today’s workout:
Art of Strength Providence DVD – 16kg KB used throughout
I completed all of the rounds with the 16 kg bell and finished 80 snatches during the 3 minute challenge after the workout. The Providence DVD isn’t getting easy with the 16kg bell, but it isn’t nearly as difficult as it was when I started it a few weeks ago. My plan is to continue with two 16kg workouts and one 24kg workout a week until I am able to complete 60 tactical lunges in the 16kg workout.
The tactical lunges just kill me. I can hammer out the clean and press with no problem, fully getting through one round of 5-4-3-2-1’s and finishing another set of 5’s for a total of 40 C&P’s in just two minutes. The tactical lunge is my barometer for now. Once I get through the 60 barrier, I may ditch the 16kg bell for this workout completely and do it with the 24kg and possibly even the 32kg.
In a few weeks I will also be transitioning to the Strength in Motion, or the Newport workout from Art of Strength. If I don’t hit the 60 tactical lunge mark before then, I’ll re-evaluate after going through a cycle with SIM or Newport.
