I knew I was going to pay for Mondays little andrenaline/cns push. I was wiped all day today( delayed onset CNS burnout?). Not injured, not sore, just FLAT. Slept ok but dragged through the day. Then Joe had to cancel and it was solo time. Arggh. One arm swings with the 24 were on the menu and I needed a 20 minute power nap to get my burnt ass in the gym.It's amazing what 20 minutes in a good alpha state can do, though.
I expected the bell to feel heavy but it didnt and my groove was instantly there; which suprised me.I guess 350 snatches will grease the groove.
I knew I need to do something different on each set; 10 sets of 10/10 wasnt going to cut it but I needed to go slowly today.

Did the first 180 swings in 10 minutes then slowed down.Was taking a minute inbetween sets til I realized I was pushing it too hard and went to 1.5 -2 minutes rest. Not bad but I was pretty flat after the first 200.
I was suprised though at my wind; I guess all that Max Vo2 work is paying off. I have never done that ladder so easily, from a cardio perspective! Plus the groove was so good. Just like Louie says, if you learn to move a light weight very fast and explosive, when you put a heavier weight on the bar you will move that fast too.
If all you ever do is move weight slowly you will never learn to be fast nor be as strong as you could be. Force is always Mass x ACCELERATION.
Max Vo2 day is very much like squat and bench speed day for me. Love it.

"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."

You definitely pushed it Rif! But hey, that is what champion athletes do from time to time. If you never push the envelope you never know where you are or where you can be.
Charles Poliquin years ago wrote about the CNS cell vs the muscle cell and how it takes 6 to 7 times longer for the CNS cell to recover than the muscle cell.
Nervous system recover just takes time off, period!

yeah franz, thats why i like to stick to a plan and not get goaded into contests like Tracy pushed for last time,lol.
