Finished off with some stretching, creatine drink and 20 minutes later protein shake.

I felt a little sluggish throughout, but then I have had a very busy week, and am probably still recovering from the heavy squat session done last monday.

Technique felt good though and Im feeling confident.
The Kettlebells were more aimed at shoulder health while the abs were high reps with body weight only due to me having already trained abs on monday of this week for low reps.

Core strength seems to be improving using this technique - which can only be a good thing.

In the next 5 days exercise will be kept to a minimum, with next wednesday being my next heavy (ish) session.

Within this session I shall be building up to my opening weights for each discipline followed by 10 days of active rest prior to my competition on the 28th.

Thanks for reading.
