just pull-ups and swings

A good nights sleep. Weight: 175 1/4 lbs, BF%:14.9. I ate what seemed like an enormous amount of food yesterday and only gained a 1/4 lb gain in weight.

Z-Health: R-Phase

Neutral grip pull-ups:
BW x 1 x 8 (PR)

The weighted pull-ups are already helping my BW ones .. new BW 8RM PR.

After lunch my cricket playing co-worker and I alternated swing sets, he with the 16kg and I with the 32kg:

32kg x 20 x 10 Two-hand swings
Total: 200 reps

This was his 4th time with swings and he made a huge leap today with great form and only needing additional rest after the 13th set. He was so psyched about his progress, he wants me to come and give a demo to his cricket team.

In the evening I did some more pull-ups:

Neutral grip pull-ups:
BW x 1 x (6,5,4,4,3,3,4,1,6)
Total: 36

Thanks to a stirring post on DD by David Whitley, Senior RKC, aka IronTamer, encouraging RKCs not to miss the incredible chance to train with many of the top RKCs at the 1st ever CK-FMS Cert in August, I was able to take advantage of a last minute cancellation in next months June RKC Cert in Mn and registered for it and then also registered for the CK-FMS (and getting the last day discount for it). Of course the CK-FMS requires that I have to pass the RKC Cert in June, however I feel very confident after this last month of progress on all fronts, In particular I have already passed a basement self-testing of the snatch test for my age and weight. I will re-test this two more times before the Cert to stay sharp and that will be it for 24kg snatches. I will also run through the Brett Jones' Preparing-for-the-RKC circuits that Gabi did prior to her Cert. Needless to say I can hardly contain myself I'm so excited!!

I'm off to NYC tomorrow morning for the AKC Fitness Cert and quite excited to share this experience with my training bro, Howie Brewer. As a result, I'll probably be OTG until Monday when I hope to give a report of all activities.
