Rest periods were 4:00 between ladders.
32kg on Rungs 1 & 2

5 Ladders
5 Rungs
Pull Ladder Type:

32kg Swings x 20 on the minute x 4

John, that's a pretty sweet press ladder you've developed for yourself. Seems very intelligent.
Some people wonder how to make the jump from 24kg to 32kg, and I think your blueprint is a great one.
And man, that's a hell of a lot of work, too. Strong!
Of course it's intelligent Aaron. You helped to give me the epiphany! I had remembered that you spoke highly of the BU press many moons ago. You have directly and indirectly helped me through your words and actions. I learn lot from you. Thanks!
John, are you serious? I totally forgot. I may have had some ideas, but I never did what you're doing.
Anyway, you should write an article for Dragondoor on the transition from the 24kg to the 32kg for ladders. Many people are dumb-struck by the graduation to a new bell, and this kind of creativity is EXACTLY what they need.
Yes. You planted the seed without realizing it while I watered it with a little osmosis from all of the reading that I do. I would have to accomplish the goal of a 32kg ROP fully and then I could post what I did. That is a great idea. Hell, I'll even let you write it! :)
My goal was to have already accomplished this feat before 2009 had arrived. I failed that, but with patience and persistence, I will do it before 2009 has departed. As you can see, currently I have more ambition than talent. Hopefully, it will always be this way!
This reminds me of a quote:
"If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe."-Carl Sagan
I cannot argue with that Carl Sagan quote at all.
Maybe one out of four press workouts, do some straight press sets with the 32. Work up to three sets of 5/5 or so with no cleaning in-between.
I could never write such an article because I am not so methodical as you. If I suggested a logical sequence, it would be a lie because I don't normally do things that way. It makes me crazy after a few weeks.
See Aaron. You are planting seeds that have and will produce fruit! I will "play" with the goal of three sets of 5/5 without cleaning on my back-off week(s). I will see how my progress materializes.
You can't fool me. I do see some madness to your methods. Oops! Well, from looking at your PRs you plan to surpass, I see a rational desire to be better.
Keep at it and thanks for helping me to be better!
:)
