Planned days off

I will be taking a few days off with the goal of getting back into it on Nov. 3rd. I have a crazy busy week or so coming up, and this will be a good break for my battered right hand as well.

10/22/08

Training schedule got thrown off a bit because of driving all day yesterday, but today I'm back in the saddle.

Mobility-
Usual SJ routine

Kettlebells-
1 rd each minute of:
32kg swing, 5/5
10 sledge strikes

Went 10 minutes.

Skipping the grip work again because of my battered right hand. It is getting better, but I have learned my lesson many times about pushing on through pain, and I am determined to let this heal properly.

10/20/08

Mobility-
Usual SJ routine plus some face the wall squats and windmills

Kettlebells-
Double 24kg swings, 10 reps
Double 24kg farmer carry, 10 meters

1 rd each minute for a total of 10 minutes.

No grip today as it feels like I bruised my right hand a bit during the last bending session. I will get back to it as soon as it feels a little less tender.

10/18/08

Mobility-
Usual SJ routine

Kettlebells-
As many rds as possible in 10 minutes of:
Double 24kg swing, 10 reps
Double 24kg farmer carry, about 15 meters

Got 10 rds

Grip-
Pinch grip:
Lifted a 20lbs DB by the bell blockweight style
3x5 rows

Did COC yesterday and hands are a bit tender from all the bending this week, so I am leaving the grippers out tonight.

New Strength Feat

Above is a license plate I tore into quarters last night.

Below is a pile of stuff I have bent in recent months.
Today's training will follow later, for now I'm off on a family walk.

10/17/08

Bending:
5 pairs of 60D Timber Ties taped together. This pretty well exhausted me. I will bend only one day next week, as I have really hit it hard the past three bending days.

COC:
Trainer 3x3

Barbell front squat:
115lbs 3x10

TGU:
4 singles at 16kg
3 singles at 65lbs fat bar

Gun show-
2 point barbell row:
65lbs 1x10

E-Z bar reverse grip curl:
45lbs 1x10

E-Z bar skull crusher:
45lbs 1x10

The real ticket to the gun show is the bending I have been doing. It truly works the entire upper body. Also, stay tuned for a photo of the latest feat I added to my arsenal.
