They are Ridiculously huge! Cannot press the bulldog, so have been jerking them, have been able to do a couple of double jerks and a couple of double front squats. Pressing is a long way off. Workout last night was:
1 jerk right, 1 jerk left, 1 chin
2 Jerk right, 2 jerk left, 2 chin
3 Jerk Right, 3 jerk Left, 3 chin
5 Double front squats (with 32′s… don’t know if I could do 5 with the double bulldogs)
Repeated 5 times…
On the 5th time around I tried double jerks instead of single ones, I got out the first, the the next 2, but not the third set of three…
Finished with Beast swings, was planning on doing 2h swings 5,10,15, repeat 5 times for a total of 150 beast swings. I only got through it 3 times… completely shagged…
Observations:
Jerks: My forearm when jerking (up towards my wrist where the bell rests when locked out) was feeling very sore straight after each jerk (once back on the ground), almost as if it was going to break. Never had that feeling before, will that adapt with the heavier weight??? I dont like that feeling at all.. and was a bit worrying towards the end of the workout.
Beast Swings: Abs, glutes and quads were working crazy hard at the top of each swing, you can really feel the tightness at the top, if I wasnt that tight I feel like I would’ve flown forward or hurt myself.. will be great when I get more accustomed to it.
Any tips on progressing to Pressing the Bulldog???? Keep jerking? floor pressing? push pressing? Beast swings? All suggestions welcome
Cheers
Pat
