Training Log: Entry 3544

**OPERATION PLANET MONGO**

AM WORKOUT (0530 wake up via Valkyrie’s alarm)

*Tactical Barbell Operator* Cycle 1, Week 6, Workout 1

“FOBBIT INTERVALS” (light)

* Set timer for 15 minutes, row for 2 minutes, 20 KB swings (24kg bell), row for 2 minutes, 10 snatches per arm, repeat until 15 minutes is up

Notes:

* It’s the heavy week of training, so the light week of conditioning.  I continue to really appreciate Fobbit Intervals for allowing me an opportunity to do swings, snatches and rowing all in one workout, and it even has a solid conditioning hit, but it lacks the sprint/high intensity of some of the other work. I have to do my best to not always fall back on this one, but regular rotation of it has been awesome.

* Sticking with doing the snatches all with 1 arm and then moving to the other.  I need to stop death gripping the bell.

* My elbows/forearms have been feeling awesome. KB work tends to beat them up, but so far I think I’ve found a really good balance with all the demands I’ve placed on them.  Being able to low bar squat, get in lots of chins, train the sandbag and get in the KB work while preserving my arms really is the golden ticket here.  I’ve never been able to do that before.

* I forgot to weigh myself in yesterday, since it was a holiday weekend, and I came in at 82.2kg this morning, which is a jump from last week, but the circumstances for the weigh in are so different it’s really a non-data point.

* I’ve got Tang Soo Do tonight, then a double class tomorrow.
