One arm swings

I have been giving my one arm swing training short shrift lately. Even though I did almost nothing else for near on 8 years prior to regaining enough function to do other movements I haven't done much lately.

It's been great to do two hand swings after all this time and heavy and fast snatches but I know that keeping my strength,form and condition in the basic one hand swing is critical.After training in Primal Move for 8 hours on Saturday and 6 on Sunday, flying home late Sunday and getting a solid 4 hours of sleep before getting up at 4 to work I knew Max Vo2 wasn't a smart choice for training today.

So we did one arm swings and I'm so glad.
They felt great and I felt like I had come home again.When my Saturday workout consisted of just one arm swings  my PR was 600 with the 24 and 400 with the 32( in sets and reps,of course) I really felt the power in this movement and today was nowhere near the volume but almost the same feel.

My groove is solid. And the one arm swing groove is THE key swing for snatch and clean power and I need to keep it up. What I think we'll do is alternate one week Snatch Vo2 workout and the next a one arm swing workout.It should't compromise anything else and I'll just make the 5 set jump every other week in Snatch Vo2

This went great. I thought about doing sets with the 32  but decided to play it safe. Haven't done heavy one arms in awhile and while I felt better than yesterday my body was still recovering from the weekend.

These rock and I'm so happy I can do them again. When I do snatch vo2 week I'll do kb rows but when I do one arms I'll do ballistic two hands and do power swings on saturday after 24 kg snatch work.
On the week I do snatch vo2 I'll do ballistic two hand swings on saturday.

15 lb CB x 10/10 x 2

these went great and my left shoulder held perfectly.

I had an amazing and transformative time this weekend at the Primal Move Cert. I felt very close to how I felt when I first discovered KB's: incredible energized, motivated and excited to read, learn, practice, absorb, master and teach this new system of movement.

It is so beautiful, in design concept, function and execution and it is pulling me in quickly.I have SO much information to study and learn that it is a bit daunting to see where I will fit it in but I will, as it is a priority; which means it will come first. Something else will have to drop off but this will find it's place.
