Changes and changes...

As you can tell from the absence it has been a very busy time and I have made a pretty significant change in my work life to better my personal life.

I have left the Duquesne Club Health and Fitness Center where I was a full time employee from Oct. 2013 until May 15, 2015.  Between my work for FMS, StrongFirst and on-line clients the full time position at the DC was simply too much.  Missing too much time with my family and not allowing me to focus on my other three jobs.
Freeing up time for my family and myself will be the benefit!

With some time freed up I have been back on to some regular training

5/16
Prep - little foam roll and movement prep
24 kg Get-up x 1+1 x 3
24 kg Strength Aerobics x 16 min
Stationary Bike x 25 min

Average HR for KB work 136
Average HR for Bike 135-140

5/18
Prep - little foam roll and movement prep
24 kg Get-up x 1+1 x 3
24 kg Strength Aerobics x 16 min

Bike 10 min

Today - 5/21
Prep - little foam roll and movement prep
32 kg Get-up x 2+2 x 2 sets
Double 24 kg Long Cycle Clean and Jerk x 5 x 10 sets
LCCJ took about 30 sec rested 1:30
Double 24 kg FS x 5 x 5 sets
rested about a 1 or more between sets

I am using a WAHOO fitness HR monitor that links to my iPhone via Bluetooth.
Interesting to watch recovery and HR peaks etc...
Today's workout was a nice collection of peaks and recoveries.
Peak of 162
average 137
Could see the accumulating fatigue yet 20-30 beat drops between sets
controlling breathing during recovery is key
