So,

Haven't been up to too much fitness wise since I came back from Florence. The emotional comedown after the tournament hit me quite hard and i seemed to have done some damage to my neck/back (maybe left trap or lev scap) during a drunken pool party. Seems to be somewhat better now tho.

So, tonight we went over to the local GAA pitch with a kettle bell each and a disc and did 3 rounds of the following circuit. Nothing too taxing but we threw 10 throws each as an active rest element between each station. I quite enjoyed it and it worked out quite well time wise too - sub 60 mins including warm up. I think if I was to do it again I'd maybe double the numbers to up the intensity but for the first time out in maybe a month it was grand.

Circuit (Everything was x10):

Explosive Push-ups
Active Rest(AR) 10 F/H
KB Dead lifts L&R
AR 10 B/H
Squat Jumps
AR 10 Hammers
Knee Pushes L&R
AR 10 F/H
KB Swings L&R
AR 10 B/H
KB Snatch L&R
AR 10 Hammers

I really had to concentrate on technique for the last 30 throws but out of the 180 catches there were only 3 drops (all hammers and 2 in the last set). That's less than 2% which is acceptable. I'd love to walk away from every throwing/training session with a 98% completion rate :)

I'm gonna try getting at least 2 more sessions in before the end of the weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.
