The 40kg has arrived

I came home to a giant surprise and I mean GIANT! Wow, the 40 kg is a big hunk of cast iron! So, I had in mind a workout thinking I would not have the 40 and just 2, 24kgs but plan changed

Windmill warm-up
24/5/5x3

Nice and easy, good rhythm, great technique and a nice stretch

Snatch
24kg
8, 9, 10, 11, 12

A necessary progression as I build up my total volume, which with this weight I am aiming for 200 total. I plan to mix this with the 32 (strength) and eventually the 40kg. These felt good and I could feel the heart beat which is a great feeling. Need to continue to work the technique.

Military Press
40/2/2x3

Yeah baby, these felt good and got better with each rep and each set. I have some work to do but I expect 5x5 in the next 3 weeks

Pistol
40/1/1x3

Ok, know we are talking. I love it, really focused on pressurization and tension to make these go with the third set being the best. Surprisingly this was the first time I have EVER attempted this weight. Yes I did try the 43.5 at Stones once and I did complete, right side only at the RKC in April! I am looking forwrad to doing 3x3.

Renegade Row and push-ups
24/5/5x3 & 20 repsx3

This is a great start. I have a 4 mile hike coming up in the next few hours
