Nov.2ND.

Today's training:

Morning session: 50min. walk/run around the park.

afternoon session:
warmup with Indian clubs and light kettlebells
Barbell complex with bar only with 7 movements which is new.

kettlebell push press 12-24kg single arm. for a total of 140 reps
Pull ups: 5 reps pronated grip after each set of Push press 65 reps

Today I concentrated on the push press with an emphasis on chest drive and breathing sequence.
When the weight starts to get heavy and breathing becomes more difficult to coordinate with the lift action. However, that is the time to slow the lift action down to maintain lift form and therefore lift efficiency. So to pratice that, you have to segment the pratice lifts in number of reps but with timed rest periods; in this routine is only 1 min. It worked well, as I got to the 24kg sets, I was able to increase the reps to 6 and still control of breathing.



I found out today that the city has received a grant to complete another section of a local Rail trail to be added to existing section that has been in place for several years. Rail trails are a great multi use park system that is low maintenance, unlike my wife.
