That's Right

Two drills, two PRs in density.

Kneeling KB Press - 12 kg - 8 minutes
Left - 39 reps
Right - 44 reps
-That's up from Monday - 29 left, 32 right. Density PR

Sumo DL - 48 kg - 10 minutes
150 reps = 15,900 lbs.
-That's up from June 7 - 130 reps. Density PR

I don't know how all this progress can keep happening. I thought I would stall out, but that hasn't happened. I keep testing and doing. As a result, I keep improving. What more can I ask for? Isn't that why we all train in the first place? No one trains to get worse.

Duh!

amy are you doiung circuits with some of your training? I just did some last night and i was pretty shocked that i could from one exercise, check rom then go right to next exercise and rom gets better. Have you noticed this? One of the guys i train did this and he was getting back to the exercise quicker then if he did it by itself.

Frank,
I do like to do circuits with two drills because of the very thing you describe. This is especially true if I mix DL w/ presses because it's lower/upper body.

The only drawback is that it doesn't happen very often that the same two drills test well for a circuit. Then I can't measure for a PR. That's not so serious, though, because I always get better. :)

Amy last night was the first time I did this. I did one arm rows followed by neck extension with my neck harness. My friend did pull ups with reverse wrist curls with red rafter. This guy Evert set was increasing a lot, and he never increases like this. Myself I got back to rows faster then ever. Maybe try it with a small movement instead of such a large one. I will do this again tonight. I will let u know how it goes.
