15/2 Did some extra hills on the commute today without adding much time 75min
45min KB class Just played with the 16kg

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

PM Deck Squats 20
Played tonight with the 24kg & managed to mess up my hands again
1A Swings 3 x 20es
Snatches 3 x 10es

PM Deck Squats 2 x 20
Prisoner Step-up Lunge 50es 5min

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

10/2 66min commute. Felt crap on the way home after the lunch time KB Class
Played with the 24kg today
6 x 10es 1A swings
5 x 10es 1A Jerks
4 x 15 1A Cleans
3 x 5 1A Snatches
Got through it all fine until we hit the snatches & found the grip really struggling

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.
