4th Month - First month single ABC
Hi guys.
First post here and I'm hoping to get some advice on how I should train going forward. :)
This year, until now:
* I began swinging in January. 100 swings each day challenge, and I managed each day except 3 days due to sickness and life.. 12 Kgs first two weeks then bought a 16Kg for the remainder.
* February I did the Simple (and not so) Sinister Challenge. 100 Single Arm Swings with 16Kg. 12Kg Turkish Get-ups (brutal). I managed every day, except 4 days this time.
* March..... I didn't have a concrete plan this time, like the previous two months. This combined with work and life being extra hard I'm slightly embarrassed to say I only managed to get in 6 out of 31 days.. But I'm trying to be positive! So it's nearly 20% of March, which is definitely 100% more than I did last year. And I'm ready to handle April now with a plan.
So, my plan for April is to do the Armour Building Complex, but with a single bell (to begin with). I found a video on YouTube, and I just wanted to check in if the following routine is the right approach:
ABC, single bell
- 1 x Clean + Press (L)
- (single arm swing to change sides)
- 1 x Clean + Press (R)
- 2 x Offset Front Squat (R)
- 10 second pause.
1 x Clean + Press (R)
- (single arm swing to change sides)
- 1 x Clean + Press (L)
- 2x Offset Front Squat (L)
- 30 second pause.
- Repeat 10x
And my second question is if I should aim to do this every day, or every other day? I seem to do best when I have a daily routine going. Missing one day makes it easier to miss the next, so to say.
If every other day, what should I do with my "off days"?
As for weights, my plan is to do the 12kg for the two first weeks. Then see if I can graduate to the 16Kg in week 3. And if I can manage by week 4 then I want to see if I can do both 12Kg and 16Kg at the same time, then just alternate sides.
Thanks in advance for any replies and help.
I'm happy to be a part of the community!
