Results

Had a nice a break but feels good to get back to work! We've also moved back to the old gym which is just a great atmosphere - the olympic platforms and bumpers, punching bags, the boxing ring, the big window letting all the daylight in...just a great place to pick up heavy things!

So today was a heavy day. I used the 28kg for all of the pressing. I failed on the 4th rep on the left during the last round, but that was it. I'm happy about that.

For the deadlifts, I used the 32kg bells for the first set of doubles but dropped down to the 28 for the one-arm suitcase deadlifts. I was afraid of leaning too much, but should have stuck with a 32.

I used a 28 for the first round of squats but bumped it up to a 32 for the next 2 rounds of clean/squats. I had to spot the bell with my opposite hand while squatting, but that's expected when going heavy.

For the first set of swings I used a 32 but bumped it up to the 36 for the rest of rounds. They felt good.

On the rope tabata, I did rounds of alternating, doubles, circular, cross-overs, side-to-sides, alternating, doubles and jumping jacks. Those are some long 20 second intervals!
