Back to the Grind........Sort Of

The is my first week back to training since the passing of my Mom and Good Friend and BMX Brother Anthony Sewell three weeks ago. I'm working my way back slowly. My workouts have been short and easy. I've always been a big believer in basics, so why not start there. With Swings, Snatches and Turkish Get Up.

With my Swings concentrating on Hard Style Lock and hiking the bell back. For me this seem to go first when I have long layoff form training. On the TGU, I focus on step by step and lots of self correction. Then rework what I need to improve on. When I stand up I throw in a Windmill then finish the TGU.

I needed to work on my cardio and there is no better way then doing VO2 Max snatch workout. My last VO2 Workout was on February 16, I completed 50 set of 7. This week I started back up with VO2 Max. I'm working my way back in to slowly. Wednesday, 15:15 7 reps for 20 sets. Today I moved up by ten, 15:15 7 reps for 30 sets. Monday I will try for 45 sets... It's a big jump but I can try can't I?

I need to sets some goals for my training. Tonight I will ponder over some personal training goals and list them here.

Until then....
