•cheese stick, 80cal

Work :

easy, about 30 items, mostly boxes into truck, easy access point, most items left in garage or just inside house for us

…..

Lift :

KB OA Cleans
left hand x35 in 2:00
rest 3:00
right hand x29 in 2:00
Squat
2×7 w/165lbs
Press
13×165

all paused squats, good flex at the top – do light squats more often building to a set of 50 reps, it’s good for you

with the bar there, I couldn’t resist pressing despite wanting to not press and let the kettlebell carry it completely for the time…

I lower it from the stands, hang clean it, a good hang clean – full power – definitely helped by all the kettlebell cleans, start pressing – a few reps in I see a pair of teenagers in my peripherals, keep repping it, they’re yelling something, the mixed race kid doing the hype man arm thing, I stop after a hard 13th rep – lower it to the ground, likely would’ve failed the 14th, pop the headphones off my right ear, and talked with them a moment.

They were yelling from across the street “great set”, and similar.

“Hey did y’all yell to me last week?”
“Huh?”
“Two teenagers yelled at me while I was outside bout a week ago. Was that you two?”
“Nah, that’s funny though. Good set man, real work. Have a great and wonderful day.”
“You too man.”

(While they said no, it may have been one or both the same teenagers as on the 19th of last month)

Sessions so brief wouldn’t be worth the commute to a gym – I’ve a lot of leeway as to how I train at home, just get really good at more and more reps while letting the weight stay high muscular activation but moderate

Biceps are gonna be bigger from the one arm kb clean. Yeah there can be hip pop, even quad pop, heck the traps are firing, but the bicep is highly involved in manhandling that cannonball to your shoulder.
