NOTES. 
This week kind of didnt go to plan. To many interruptions with long work days, and heavier than normal
Shaolin workouts.
Next week Ill be out and about the city all week so ill attempt to do as much Shaolin Training as possible as ill be in the area. Will see how that  pans out.. Trying to fit in work outs around work and other engagements is a challenge but not impossible.

New weekly work out routine take one.


This is a new routine based on the new knowledge I have from the study of CST.
a 3 day on 3-4 day off weekly routine and smarter workouts as opposed to quantity.
Ive tried to work it in so the Shaolin training days are on the peak days to optimise my energy.
See how it goes.
For more info on CST and clubbells check out the RMAX website.

Week one.

Day 1 - April 6th - Sunday -  Light Routine

- 2 handed front snatch 4 sets x 12 - 10lb Clubbells
- 2 Handed Flag Press - 4 sets x 12 - 10lb Clubbells

Notes:
Mills were easy
Snatches a bit harder than i thought they would be
Flag press was intense. Definitely have weakness in back and core.

____________________________________________
|  NOTES:
| 2 weeks of this and it isnt working so well.. Im gaining a heap of strength however I think im going too hard  on the medium days which is effecting the Peak shaolin days. Im also still dealing with a high ankle sprain. it  was a very light injury . however it needs another 2 weeks to heal. Focusing on core strength and technique  for clubbells and Kung fu while I heal my leg.
 Changing it up next week so Tuesday will be the medium day for shaolin, then a peak Strength day on  Wednesday. then a light Shaolin day on Thursday. Friday Saturday Sunday rest.

 Overall the 3 days on 3-4 days off works just needs to be adjusted to work with kung fu training.  which is t  the priority.
