Got the chance to assist Steve Cotter in his workshop today in San Carlos. Tracy took part and a good time was had by all.Steve asked me to take the group through a Rifstonian ROP Hi pull ladder and since I had not trained yet that day I decided to lead from the front and participate.
Most of you know my fondness for warming up so having to jump into a pr test with no warmup after standing around for six hours was not what I had expected but you gotta CowboyUp when the situation demands it. When Steve decided to be my partner for the test I really knew I was in for it as Steve can set a fast pace. And since its "I go, you go" for the whole ten minutes I knew I was gonna hurt.
But it went great.
snatch hi pulls/24 kg
10/10
12/12
14/14
16/16
18/18
20/20
and for the last set of
10/10 I Snatched the weight!'
200 reps /10,600 lbs.
Don't know the exact time but we were definitely under ten minutes.Steve was blasting out his sets with his newly honed gs style so he was moving!
Also hadn't eaten anything all day and had no problem. THe warrior diet works great! Plus PLENTY of Farmers walks of all kinds at the start, in the middle and at the end of the day as well as numerous swings ,hi pulls and snatches throughout the day just to keep warm!
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
