Direction Shift

I've spent the last few months again focusing on Original Strength and walking in order to get my hip in order. As most of you will know, we've almost all been practicing physical distancing and isolation to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus which cause COVID-19. The last couple of weeks my wife, sons and I have been gathering in our carport 2 or 3 times a week to work out. We call it Pandemic Family Weight Training.

The first few times I did relatively random sessions rather than Simple and Sinister, though I did do a 60% S&S once. I decided I need to do something different, so I pulled out the manual I got when I attended a Strong First Kettlebell Course a couple of years ago. Read it over and decided to follow the following program for a few weeks, or maybe months. Gave it a first go yesterday, 20200403.

6 Minutes of Pressing

3 x (2, 3, 5) x 35lbs => 30 reps

8 Minutes 2 Squats + 10 Two Hand Swings

4 x 44lbs => 40 reps

6 Minutes of Pressing

1 x (2, 3, 5) x 35lbs
3 x (2, 3) x 35lbs => 25 reps

This is a heavy (volume) day. My next session should be light, about 50 percent volume in the same time windows. The time windows was chosen by picking a number between 6 and 10 inclusive out of a hat. The second sequence of pressing is done for the same amount of time as the first. The next practice day will be 15 reps in 6 minutes, 20 reps in 8 minutes, and 12 reps in 6 minutes.

Today, I'll just walk, do original strength resets, practice jump rope, some really light get ups, single leg deadlifts and stretch. Just light stuff to keep moving.
