Got down and dirty with the KB's again today and it felt great. While I was pleased to find that I had not lost much strength in the grip department, it was not the case in the strength endurance department. I guess that hefting a couple of coffee bags a day will just not get it done.

But I have come up with a new plan of attack for the next few weeks. I really like the structure of the last few workouts because it uses all the KB's and coincidentally uses up all of my strength. So I am going to make a ladder out of it. I will add 1 rep a workout for 10 workouts. So, for example, the 2 pood set will look like this:
#1: 1>2>3
#2: 1>2>3>1
#3: 1>2>3>2
#4: 1>2>3>3
#5: 1>2>3>4
#6: 1>2>3>4>1
...and so on. I will do this "OASiS Workout" 10 times, and will try to have at least 2 each week. I will finish them off with some swings or strength work or whatever else seems to float my boat.

OASiS Workout #1 went down like this:

OASiS>MP>Windmill
@ 2pood: 1>2>3 (TT: 5min 44sec)
rest 2
@ 1.5pood: 1>2>3>4 (TT:8min 39sec)
rest 2
@ 1pood: 1>2>3>4>5 (TT:12min 38sec)

Notes:
I went quickly and I was actually quite pleased with my cardio levels. Strength went down quite a bit. The last couple of presses w/ the 2 pood I had to push press. I think I will catch up with the program though. I had planned to do some swings, but decided against since I have been out of the groove and I didn't want to push it into injury. I was worried about my grip and forearms since I had worked them out earlier today, but they held up just fine. Fun workout and I was absolutely ka-put by the last set.
