Today's session was a beast! As follows:
21 reps of box jumps, power snatch (30kg for me) and pull-ups followed by 15 reps and then 9 reps.
And then, just for fun, we did 10 minutes AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) of 50m sandbag carry (25m uphill; 25m down), burpees and kettlebell swings (20kg). Certainly felt like a good session at the end of it.
The good news is that I'm getting much better at pull-ups and I may be able to dispense with the band completely in the next couple of weeks. I've recently increased the weight of the kettlebell to 20kg so my skinny cyclist's uper body is clearly responding to the new stimulus, which I'm really happy with. I need to sort out my eating regime as I'm allowing too many 'naughty' things to sneak under my primal rader so I'm not getting the full benefit of my new 'strong' (again, it's a relative term!) physique.
Train smart folks.

Requires constant vigilance I find! I don't have non Primal food around but some of the 'treat' items like 85% and red wine can become staples if you aren't careful!
turbo, nice biking pic on the top of the blog, now you are a cross fit demon can we not have a piccy of you throwing some big weights around?
K - I agree; we're getting better but still have a stash.
Roy - Define 'Big'? Unfortunately my skinny upper body doesn't do big just yet. I'll see what I can find though.
