back into it

So im back to blogging again. Ive been training with the ROP from Enter the Kettlbell. Everything ig going well but I feel like i need a chnage of pace. I Made good progress. I was able to press the 32kg I didn't press heavier because i couldnt find a heavier bell. I was able to bench press 245lbs realitivly easily without touching a barbell for over a year. I was able to meet the snatch test with the 24 kg. I was able to snatch 102 reps in 5 min. Also Im able to do 5 strick pull ups. So I think Ive made good progress on the ROP.

So more than anything else I fell Im needing a mental change. I also feel I want to improve my cardio and body composition. I joined the YMCA with my new wife to help keep her motivated. And I saw they had a small selection of preform better kettlebells. The largest they had was 16kg. Well My go to workout when I have access to only a 16kg bell is to do the VWC. So thats what I did. And Afterward I felt great! I felt more mentally refreshed and I felt that if I follow the VWC to conclusion I will get the cardio and body composition I am after.
As far as strength gains I really just want to maintain. I think if I do 2 strength practices a week will be enough to maintain what Ive gained.
So my new program will be the following

monday
   Strength day
tuesday
   VWC
wednesday
   off
thursday
   strength day + VWC or Swings (swings using a Tracy Reifkind workout or VWC type, but with swings)
Friday
    off
Saturday
   VWC
Sunday
   variety


My base where im at now with the VWC is 40 sets as of last night.

And so it begins.
