Hello.

Welcome to keyboard guro. I said I will start this blog by the end of May, and here it is.  I will be adding some material tonite (an introduction,  and some notes. ) I will try to add something every week, except when I am on holidays.)

Today's note is simply my workout today...the workout of a pretty ordinary guy, who juggles several interests, and a life.

Todays workout, warm up - 2x 6min sword and shield work.
6 mins of snatch  with the 20 k.(8rpm), switching hands every 4 reps, 1 min rest, 6 x 4 double jerks with the 16ks.  Start a new set every min. 
Rationale for workout :  Warm up is to allow me to move a moderate wt (2 lb sword, shield ) in a variety of movements, while getting extra practice in with those weapons.  The snatch work out allows me to get more reps in than if I did GS style (which would allow only 1 switch).  The jerks let me get reps in without burning out. Eventually i will move to GS sets as I get stronger.  Will do a short hike at lunch to get ready for trip to Banff.  I will probably not reach my full potential at sword, or GS, or hiking on this program, but I will enjoy myself, and get better at all of them.
