My training has never been as steady as it has been this year. I am squatting, swinging, snatching, pressing, or getting up in my driveway every week day with few exceptions. The secret to my steadiness is training before lunch as a break during my workday and limiting my work load so that I feel strong at the end of workouts and not exhausted. I used to injure myself by using too much weight or indulging in too much volume at least once or twice per year, but not anymore. I am focused on steadiness and it feels good!

My routine of the past several weeks has developed a bit. I am performing get-ups only on the occasional day when it is cloudy. Most days I am doing a combination of snatches and military presses. I was doing 40 snatches, but dropped to 20 and started going over head with one-arm presses for 20 instead to keep from pinching the callouses on my hands so much. I guess I could get some chalk to take the pressure off my hands during snatches, but I like the presses and don’t want to add significantly more volume to my daily program.

My current training program (5 days per week)

Prying goblet squats
16 kg kettlebell – 3 x 5 = 15 reps, 525 pounds

Goblet squat curls
16 kg kettlebell –3 x 5 = 15 reps, 525 pounds

Halos: 12 kg kettlebell – 3 x 10 = 30 reps, 780 pounds

Two-handed swings
24 kg kettlebell – 10 x 10 = 100 reps, 5600 pounds

Snatches
16 kg kettlebell – 2 x 5 L/R = 20 reps, 700 pounds

Single-arm presses
16 kg kettlebell – 5 x 2 L/R  = 20 reps, 700 pounds

Hill Sprints – 3 x 70 yards = 210 yards

Total weight: 8830 pounds
Weekly total: 44,150

I may begin to experiment with using the 20 kg kettlebell for squats and curls. I have been completing sets with less rest than I did months ago, so I guess it is time to increase the challenge.
