Second set was done with 40k, all others with 32k. Rested 1m, then 10 getups in 10m with 32k. Some stretching.  Could have done more reps in long cycle, probably 10m at this pace, but left energy for swings and getups. All done before 8 am. I'm having trouble adjusting to early training, and am very tired and busy lately. However, I'm pleased with this workload, given my schedule. 3696 lb. of clean and jerks, 6480 lb. of swings, and 700 lb. of getups. 100 pushups throughout the day.

Will probably return to 20k long cycle soon, just needed a week or two with heavier weights. I might look into two-week blocks, alternating faster, longer sets with lighter weights and shorter, slower sets with heavier weights. Throughout the day, 60 pushups.
