Pleasantly Surprised
Hey folks
Yesterday I, by a surprise, hit
Timed Simple goal.
For full details of my background/log you can visit my SF LOG Here:
SF Forum Log BUT
- I started SS to assist with BJJ competition season as it is easy to recover from.
- I am doing some strength work intermittently but SS and BJJ make up the week.
Details of Practice yesterday:
- I have been timing myself to do Timeless simple just to see the fluctuations of my energy day to day. I start the timer and then flip the watch over. Whatever the requirements take, they take.
- Same as usual yesterday - Started timer, and flipped it over.
- Where I do my practice to my yard fence is roughly 5 meters. My goal for this week was to do 10/10 swings, take 3 deep nasal breaths focusing on extending the exhale, walk to edge of the yard (~10m) and then go again.
- At the end of the 100 swings - I flipped the watch over and it was
4:21.
- I was feeling good so WTH, I said to myself, took 1 min rest, and started with TGUs.
- Same deal. 1 TGU, 5 deep breaths. Repeat.
- After 10, it was
9:17.
- YOU BEAUTY!!
Prior to this plan:
- I was doing Plan Strong Press program
- Alternating between pullups and pistols as accessory
- Doing Snatches in the 5/4 fashion w/ 24kg KB.
- The latter I believe prepped me well for Simple.
- Also timed stoppages at certain sticking points - For me the kneeling position
Plans:
- I receive my 40kg KB finally so will be starting incorporating that into my swings.
- Half TGUs with 40s first
