Good to be back

A: PR zone - Bottoms up C&P 16kg r/l
11/11

B1/B2 : Pullups 25# / 2 KB Front Squat 16kg's

ladders 1,2
7/7 total

Some minor grip work with block weights and leverage block

Feels good to be doing pullups again, hand is fine.

Going to do the same basic moves with a density mentality and a variety of intensity, heavy low rep, higher rep lighter weight, less intensity but high tension, etc.

Cleans: 10/10
Snatches: 10/10
All done trying to keep the movements crisp.

Pullups: 5

Feeling like my old self again

Getting back to some consistent training again, keeping it short and sweet still. Had some Yuen work done on my hand last week and hope to be back to bending soon.

Yesterday: Some prep work of thoracic rotations with arm sweep, leg lowering, ankle circles.
Earlier in day:
MP- 24kg x 1/1, 2/2, 1/1 - rest time varied from a minute to several minutes. Just want to start getting my pressing strength up again. Maybe even hit 32kg by fall, at least the end of the year.

Later:
A1: Front Squat x 2-16kg
A2: Swings 2H x 16kg
PR zone - 5min - 16/16
rest 5min
B1: Curls x 2-25# kb
B2: Kneeling Ring Triceps Extensions
PR zone - 5min - 13/13

Grip:
Cleans - 3/3 x 3 - 20# block weight
Assorted DL with 25# block
wrist flexion with leverage block

I've been doing a better job preparing decent meals also. Far from perfect but better.
