More Convict conditioning

My arm seems to have healed up nicely but I'm still gonna rest it a little longer and only do light KB work. Today I did my Convict Conditioning. I moved up the rep range to the next progression but only kept it at one set. Going slowly. Some of them actually made me exert myself a little. Oh well.

Pain yo

Didn't work out Christmas or the weekend. Tried doing it today and my arm burned pretty bad. Top that off with my head being on fire and an inability to stay off the toilet for longer ten minutes, I decided to take it extremely easy. So I took a light KB and did some cleans. Seems to have helped. We'll see.

Convict workout

Tried convict conditioning for the first time today. I just did the beginner standard for all six movements. Really, really easy but I guess that's kinda the point. My left arm hurts from the KB workout on monday. I guess the supporting muscles weren't strong enough. Oh well.

Trying to blog again

So I haven't been posting my workouts. My bad. Life's just been a tad bit hectic. I have been still working out pretty hard though and have been seeing the fruits of my labor. My core is more prounouced and I've made some pretty big strides in my shoulder strength. So much more work to do.
On Wednesday, I'm going to incorporate Dragon Door's Convict Conditioning into my workouts. It should be interesting to see how it works out (No pun intended). I'm going to start slow and work my way up like the book suggests. I know I could crank out alot more and skip ahead, but I don't want to. Oh well, here's today's workout:
3 rounds (2 minutes rest between round) of
5 24kg Clean and presses (R/L)
5 Pull-ups
5 Double 24 kg front squats

Finished with 3 rounds of 20 32kg swings with 1 minute rest in between round
