NOTES:

* I'm thinking maybe I should be using the 12kg for this since I only hit 6 RPM with the 14...., although it felt really light when I switched to it....?
NOTES:
** again used lighter weights then I normally would - back is better, about 95%, so I am still taking it easy.

Swings
* knew I didn't have it this morning to do 9 minutes of 45/15 with the 20kg so I just did one round of that
* 9 minutes is tough - made it through by the skin of my teeth!!!!
* whole workout took exactly an hour! I was surprised since I rested so much during the c&p's and rested a full 5 minutes before I started the swings! I think doing the 3,5,7 is faster for the heavy day - and I like it better!
