23/2 Leg were a little tired on the ride into work today so took it easy, commute 66min
KB class 50min. So what do I do when I'm feeling this flat, why smash everyone of course.
Circuit going from 1-10 reps on each exercise & without any rest then going 10-1 reps for a total of 660reps
1A Swing
1A cleans
Rack Lunge
Then to loosen those shoulders up
KB High swing row 20
OALCCJ 25es
1A snatch 60es
So 850reps with 16kg = 13600kg

Ann-Michele you can let Ben know he lifted about the same amount of weight as on Sunday, but had to do an extra 400reps as the weight was lighter.

As for Neil's suggestion that he tries a session with the 28kg KB. He hasn't completed a full session with the 24kg yet, so he's going to be looking at a world of pain. Oooooo so much fun yet to come.

22/2 77min commute on the single speed. The ride home was great with a big tail wind & after taking 3 classes at work today I needed the help.

Class 1. Took my first AquaBag class today at lunch time. Class went well just working on basics
Deadlifts, Cleans, Clean & press, Squats & Snatches. 45min

Class 2. KB's worked with 60sec work, 30sec recovery & played with the 16kg. 45min.

Class 3. The same Aquabag class as at lunch time, 45min.

I'm a little tired now, I may have to lay down.

16/2 Went a little further today for 95min on the single speed
50min KB class with 16kg. Had fun tonight as all rests B/W sets was in Prone brace position, I don't know why they all were complaining, they got to spend about 20min resting.

17/2 Easy commute 65min, a bit flat on the way home
KB class 2 x 16kg & resting in prone brace again. For some reason it felt a bit harder today, I just don't know why.
After the KB class we did another 45min session with the AquaBags as we have a program for new members starting next week. I really didn't need to be doing extra today so I picked up the 20kg bag to make it harder.

14/2 Had to go into work early today for a few hours, so planned to get up early to get some extra time in on the bike only to wake up to the sound of heavy rain so decide to get an extra 45min sleep instead. By the time I got up & was ready the rain had stopped, so it was wet roads but a dry body. After work I took a detour ride home through the Yarra B & along the Yarra track out towards Eltham & through the hills back to home. A couple of the hills were not pretty on the single speed with Cadence dropping to about 25rpm. 1:50hr

12/3 I felt great after yesterdays work out going a bit easier, as the boys have got the Otways next weekend, I don't so I decided to do something about this I fell great thing.

1A Swings 300 20kg changing hands every 10, no rest, then straight into 50 push-ups for a total time of 9:22min. Now I don't fell quite so good. Job done. Couple of photo's from Queensland

9/2 85min commute with a couple of detours
50min KB Class 16kg
Did a similar work-out to yesterday but did the Swing rest time 1 push-up set the other way around going 20 to 1reps es. This was easier than going 1 to 20 as I expected, but was harder to keep count & I realised that I doubled up on 10's & 8's. Doing 10's & 8's twice didn't mean that I could skip out on 9's & 7's. It was my mistake so the extras don't get counted.
After that we did a Tabata set going Jerk L 16, Jerk R 16, Squat L 17, Squat R 17, twice through & smashed each set. It was good hard set but I need to make it harder.
Then so other playing around

8/2 Commute 65min, still 30 C on the way home at 8:30pm
45min KB class
Tried a new work-out tonight & I was glade I was just using the 16kg
Started with 1A Swings & did a ladder going from 1 - 20reps in b/w each rung we dropped down to do 1 push-up, jump back up & straight back into next set of swings. Ended up being 420 swings & 20 push-ups, which translated to 17min continuous work.
Then did some jerks & snatches.
