Exams and stuff

Haven't been logging training much if at all lately. I am in the full swing of exams. Not that it has stopped me.

Recently I've been doing a lot of tumbling, really simple stuff. Got this book the tumblers manual and it presents a comprehensive list of progressions. It's amazing what progress is possible if one starts at the basics and builds up slowly. In a very short space of time I aquired the balance to properly handstand for a decent length of time instead of wobbling all over the place. Something I've been trying to achieve for... hmm.. about 15 years.

So the last week I've tumbled everyday, and done the program minimum with the 32kg bell. Something which is long overdue.
Started the week with 2 shaky getups per side, ended the week with 3 smooth getups per side. Swings were horrible, I just did them and didn't think too much about it.
Mountain biked several times. Did some hill sprints.
Did some car pushing... "special strength" woohoo.
Training in the gym have been doing clean and press ladders with pullups. I've leaned out considerably lately, and haven't lost any strength, just gained mobility and endurance. Probably speed too.

Today at the gym I set a new clean and press PB @ 60kg. 65kg didn't budge. Todays session:

warmup complex (after foam rolling and stretching)
5 cycles with empty bar
power snatch x8
overhead squat x8
goodmorning x8
back squat x8
row x8

front squat
60kg x 4
70kg x 3
80kg x 3
80kg x 4
80kg x 4

clean and press
40kg x 1
50kg x 1
60kg x 1
65kg miss

clean and press 50kg superset with matching number of pullups:
1,2,3,4
1,2,3
1,2,3

Really happy to have pressed 60kg, pressing has always been difficult for my thanks to my longish arms and spending the bulk of my life in a very thin frame. a big plate each side is just cool.
