about 2-5 sets of each depending on how I felt with each one.

Some windmills and armbars plus a rope climb to round out the day.
Train simple.

Stones

Went down to cardiff beach to lift stones today. Mostly Cleans and Zercher squats. Eventually was able to press one of the stones but I was a bit over-zealous in rock selection today (Very Heavy).
Will probably do some snatches and sledgehammer work later.

Keepin' at it.

FOCUS!

You have to focus on your goals. My goal is August 1st-3rd RKC and the Beast Tamer Challenge.

32kg pullup 3 sets of 3
48kg Pullup worked up to one set
48kg Pistol 1/1 x 3 sets

I can do it, I know I can. I just need to keep the intensity and the focus for one more month.

Did some small conditioning afterward.

5 Double Snatch
5 Double Front Squat
5 Double Jerk
5 Burpee

Finished with some jump rope to bring my hr down slowly. Simple, Brutal, Effective.
Focus on your goals. FOCUS!

Update:
I've been training, just not updating.
Took monday off--needed a day off.
Heavy stone lifting on tuesday:
-I pressed a stone this week that I had failed many times to press in the past which I was very happy about.
My grip does not hinder my lifting stones in any way anymore.
Wednesday:
Mostly pullups and shoulder mobility drills (armbars, tgu's, etc)
I have been slacking a bit and working a lot and my sleep patterns have been off. So I have been focusing primarily on the Beast Tamer Challenge in a month and the pullup is the only thing I am worried about.

Day off again today, might go swim.
