24 kg Windmill x 5+5
24 kg Goblet Squat x 5
40 kg Military Press x 2 right and 1 left x 5 sets
Pistol Practice (10# counterweight) 3 reps per leg (various styles) x 4 sets
40 kg Bent Press x 3 + 3
40 kg One Arm Swing x 5+5 x 5 sets
1# Club Swinging
Instead of fighting the left arm I just went with it and did a set of 10 with the 24kg to add a little volume to the left side.
Pistol practice felt good - i am going to be working both ends (bodyweight and weighted).
Clubs felt great - lots of reps.

great workout man. as you know, I LOVE 5x5. so simple so basic and so effective. nice.
oh yes, great article btw. right to point and very clear.
Great article Brett! Curious as to whether you have ever pushed your floating leg into different positions/planes when practicing pistols. It will take you from a pistol to a SLDL and hit various planes to each side of the body(Gary Gray calls it a star lunge). It gave me a lot of hip and ankle mobility/stability I didn't have and helped my traditional pistol. Just curious if you have any experience with this.
Thanks Rif - simple is as simple does...
Carl,
In the past I experimented with a lot of variations but for now I am trying to get my pistol back (so to speak).
I loved the article =)
It opened up my yeas even more on what we are doing and how i should think.
See you son Mr Jones
