All @12kg
R-phase warmup, 5min alt TGU (1R BU)
6x1+2+3 CP, one ladder on each side BU
- 4x1 pullups and 2x2 single-bell front squats
- 2x 4-touches and some pumps
18 SW/min x 10
cool down and stretch

Single pullups felt good. Swings left me sweaty and winded, but in a good way. In the evening, did a single CP ladder on each side at 16kg. A couple 12kg snatches, a couple 12kg windmills. 1 BU CP ladder each workout will improve my grip and stability...

Had a press day scheduled for Friday, skipped it. Been dealing with a lower back issue, left side only. I can tilt my head to the right and make the left small of my back pinch. Needed to isolate this and rest it. A little better now.

Been considering rebooting with Jay's press ladder and swing volume plan, plus reintroducing pullups. I'm currently at 48 CP per arm and 120 swings per day, mostly single-arm. Single front squats are still shaky on the left, plus this lumbar problem....
