All time snatch PR

Decided to go for a real pr since last week was a tie. In retrospect it was not a good idea to do such a heavy wednesday hi pull workout as the first few sets today were shockingly sluggish.Oh well, you pick it you play it. I didnt feel in danger of hurting myself, just a lot of suffering.

Sets were 7/7,8/8,9/9. hate anything close to ten reps.

Snatch with 24 kg
26x5/5/5/5x2
36x5/5/5/5
44x5/5

53x7/7
x8/8
x9/9= 48 reps x 4 rounds= 192 reps
x7/7
x6/6
x6/6= 38 reps
Total reps= 230 !!! all time highest number
Total weight= 12,190 pounds! thats even better!

Only two of us this took a long time, 40 minutes, as I was letting my partner take too long a break as I knew pushing the pace in my semi weakened state wasnt good my bones either.
Got two very nice blisters but no tears! Next week will definitely be a down week with the 20 kg and go back to fives with multiple transfers.back to longer sets for awhile.

Going to add in a field day monday to see if that works for getting more gpp and legs without frying my arms so much.dragging the sled was a revelation.I think it has all kinds of possiblities.

Halos
26x8/8
36x8/8 x2

One foot calf raises
18x5
26x5x2

dats it staying loose. weigh in later.

You are on your way to Michael Castrogiovani's 88x10/10x10set swing workout!

Impressive volume with your battle scars. This shows good training, understanding feedback, and balancing the plan with intuition.

Congrats.

royce,
thanks man, it was tough though.

tom,

I had forgotten about Mikes swings but they were with the 97 lb monster not the bulldog! and no I dont have THAT kind of masochism in me. 300 total will be fine eventually but I will have to do it with less reps as I HATE sets of ten or more, lol!
thanks for the props though, much appreciated. not bad for an old broken up dude.

155 x 3 x 5, 160 x 3 x 5, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 40, 35

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
