May 19-25- lay off week.

May 18- Kettlebell meet in Charlotte.  Got 45 (46 with a no-count) reps in long cycle with 2x24k.  A new PR.

May 17- no training.

May 16- had planned to take the day off from physical activity to rest for the meet, but cut down trees with a chainsaw instead.

May 15- Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x24- 3:20 @ 6 rpm= 20 reps. After about six hours of construction and yard work in 80+ degree heat.  Pretty tired.  Did 8 1m sets of 2x24k work- some cleans @ 12rpm, jerks @ 8rpm, long cycle @ 6 & 8rpm.  1m rest between sets; just working volume and technique.

May 14- Long cycle clean and jerk- 2x20k- 10m @ 6rpm, then practiced double cleans for sets of 5-7 with 28k and 32k bells.

May 13- no serious training.  Up all night with a stomach bug. Did a couple hours of yard work.

May 12- day off from training

May 11- out of the house all day long with Dawn at festival, selling soap.  Practiced pistols- probably 20 per leg. 

May 10- Long Cycle clean and jerk, 2x24k: 4m @ 6rpm x 2, 4m rest.  Started a third set of 4m, but put the bells down at 1:30.  57 reps total.   Rested a few minutes then 2x28k: 1m @ 6rpm x 3, 1m rest.  20 minute ice bath.

May 9- Turkish get up, 24k- 5 minutes.  Singles per arm @ 28k and 32k.  Nordic Track: 25 minutes.  Assorted chin ups and pull ups.  Stretching.

May 8- Long cycle clean and jerk- 2x24k: 3m @ 6rpm x 4. 72 reps total. Felt strong through the first three sets, fourth set was tough, but manageable.  Ramping up to longer sets for the meet on May 18.  Did today's sets with a thumbs-forward clean, as opposed to thumbs-back, as I've been used to doing.  This shortens the stroke of the clean, and allows a narrower stance, which helps the jerk. So far so good.   15 minute ice bath.

May 7- Turkish get up, 16k- 5 minutes.  Mowed yard for 51 minutes.

May 6- Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x24k- 2m @ 6rpm x 6, 2m rest. 72 reps.  One arm jerk, 28k- 3m @ 12 rpm = 18 reps per arm.  Chest bump, 2x28k: 1.5m, 1m @ 12rpm = 30 reps.

May 4, 5- no training.  Lots of extra work, late nights, eating out.

May 3- Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x24k: 3m, 2m, 1m @ 6rpm, 3m rest between sets.  5 sets of 1m on, 1m off, 8rpm, 2x24k.  76 reps total. Finished with 2m of one arm jerks with 24k @ 12rpm, and 1m of 2x24k chest bumps @ 16rpm. Later, practiced pistols.

May 2- Nordic Track- 30 m. Helped a friend move for 2 hours.
