Saturday. This was a day dedicated to kettlebells. Together with Pauliina we drove to my in-laws to Klaukkala for a delicious lunch. They have made an order for me to guide a kettlebell training session for 30 minutes. So before attacking the tremendous lunch table we took some training with kettlebells.
4 rounds of:
20 kb swings
20 kb clean & jerk (10 with left, 10 with right hand)
20 "rainbows" (10 each way)
I went for 30 kb swings myself cause I couldn't do right hand jerks at all, that shoulder is still not perfect. After kettlebell training, I took 100 sit-ups and 100 squats. This was way easier day than normally and these last days have not been that heavy anyway. Hopefully my body takes full utilization of this period and is fully pumped up to take the next step. I haven't had much rest in September so I really hope this short period is beneficial. There's been two rest days in total this month. It hasn't been a problem, this is exactly what my goal was. I wrote earlier that I'm going to make my body demand to practice every day (or two training sessions...).
The strength crossfit has, is that it's possible to practice this much because of the versatile training methods. If you're training the same way all the time, the problems occur. If you keep on mixing the movements and exercises continuously, you shouldn't get injured and you should be witnessing development. However, keep in mind that you should be upgrading the training loads little by little. I've been blessed to have the possibility to train well for a couple of years - due to floorball team training - especially for my stamina and overall condition.
The reason why I have soreness in my shoulder derives from too much eagerness with handstand skills training. I went three days in a row for handstand holds, handstand push-ups or something alike. There was simply too much burden for my joints, considering that I haven't done that movement much before and once I was inverted and holding 76 kilos, that was just too much. Now I know it and will not make similar mistakes in the future =)
Thank you Tommi for guiding us to the kettle balls world. We can feel the training in our legs ;) It is a good sign :) Let's do it again - we enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI think you analyzed wisely your training especially regarding hand standing skill training. I think it is absolutely true, that it is important to do versatile training to avoid injuries.
Have a good weekend and take the full advantage of this recovery period. I am sure, that your body will benefit of it, as you wrote.
Best regards,
Kari and Maija :)
