Working on Viking Warrior Conditioning from Kenneth Jay.

Just finished my third VWC workout and I am gassed.

Having done the cMOV2 test, I know the following:
  • Suggestion: 1 (Maintain Strength while working on Conditioning)
  • Protocol: 15:15
  • Reps: 7 reps per set.
  • Kettlebell: 16kg
My first workout yielded 21 sets. Not a bad start. I was hoping to increase my numbers by 10% each session.

Second session resulted in only 16 sets. Bummer, but maybe I am feeling the strain from my strength conditioning. I decided to take a day off to see what my number looked like.

Today I managed to do 17 sets before my cadence slipped. I was really hoping to nail 20 today.

I think I am not as in as good of shape as I thought.
Oh well, ya gotta start somewhere.

Ultimately I need to do 80 sets before I can progress to the next level. UGH!

After a few minutes rest I decided to do a dual session and do some strength work.

I found a new routine called EDT (Escalating Density Training) from Mike Mahlers aggressive Strength eBook.

Upper Body
A-1: Double Clean and Military Press 53#, rest 30 seconds
A-2: Double Bent-over Row 70#, rest 30 seconds

Later this week I will do a Lower Body routine like this:
A-1: Double Front Squat 53#, rest 30 seconds
A-2: Double Swing 70#, rest 30 seconds

I did about 15 minutes worth of this. Aiming for 25 minutes.

Tomorrow is another day!
