E11 k-bells [#00038] Kettlebell Sport (LCC&J & Jump Squats)


Back on track today! My hand finally healed so I decided today was d-day for LC. My goal was to hit 6 minutes @ 7 rpm and based on how it felt decided whether I would train this pace up to the Arnold or drop back to 6 rpm.

LCC&J @ 2x 24kg's

-6 minutes @ 7 rpm (42 reps, PR for this duration!)

*I reverted back to my old technique on the clean and rack position today and everything clicked right back into place. I was foolish to try and make changes this close to a meet, I won't make that mistake again! It scared the crap out of me, I thought I was going backwards for a while there. After today my confidence is back and I know I can hit my primary goals in Columbus. However, even though I was successful at 7 rpm to 6 minutes today I have decided to drop back and focus on 6 rpm for the meet. 7 rpm is a hellashious pace and I don't want to risk burning out before I hit the 59 reps I need for my ranking.

LCC&J @ 2x 24kg's

-5 minutes @ 6 rpm (30 reps)

*This pace feels so much better for me! Even though I was pretty fatigued from my first set I was able to move through this one smoothly so I'm happy again. I think 70 reps is a good goal for me for LC, but with the injuries and setbacks that have slowed my progress this goal proved a little beyond my reach at the moment. 59 reps is all that really matters right now and thats my focus for the next 2 weeks...

Jump Squats @ 155#

-3x 50 reps w/ 60 sec recovery b/w rounds

*Meant to go with 165# today, but got distracted and forgot to put the 5's on the bar. Next time...
