So 8 sets (16 sets counting right and left individually) were 1 press and 7 sets (14 sets counting right and left individually) were 2 presses.

Stretch

56 kg feels great for swings but I cannot find a comfortable position for Get-ups - the handle design and shape of the KB makes it sit low and very uncomfortable.

Strong Endurance protocols - fun stuff

Spent yesterday walking a little over 3 miles at the Arts Festival here in Pittsburgh

Today
prep - foam roller, GFM
24 kg Get-up + x 1+1
24 kg half kneeling bent press series x 2 R+L
24 kg Windmill x 3+3

Strong Endurance 033 protocol 4 min series (160 reps total)

Stretch

I've been hitting 033 for a couple of weeks (4 or 5 sessions of 033)

on 5/14 performed a 36 kg Strength Aerobics - before starting any 033 sessions

Then after 4 or 5 sessions of 033 (occasional 044 snatches 1 or 2 sessions)

6/8 performed a 36 kg Strength Aerobics - 30 sets total (10 seconds on with 30 seconds rest)
noticeable easier
Didn't really feel "warmed up" until about half way through and didn't really start to feel like I was accumulating any work/fatigue until the last 4 or 5 sets where normally I would feel warmed up within the first 10 and feeling like I was accumulating  work during the last half to 10 sets.

32 kg One-arm Swing x 10 sets

32 kg One-arm Swing x 2 sets

stretch

I am removing one of the half-kneeling windmill series to see if it changes something. The half-kneeling windmill to the elbow from the "in-line" position might be a irritating my hip a bit so I will remove it to see.

Rest periods or time to rest - since I am usually on the clock (so to speak) to get my sessions in I try to take advantage of days where I can rest more so that is what I did for my 32 kg work today.
Swings felt great, snatches had a greater impact (and hitting 80 total reps after not snatching for a while was good) and finishing with swings felt good.

Two observations
1) I have not given two-arm swings their due.

2) I have been overextending my right arm on the Left side GU returning the hand to the ground.
