Didnt really plan on doing this but when the momentum gets going and you have a good training partner well, the energy sometimes takes over.
One arm swings today with the 24 kg and wanted to ramp up the volume a bit from last weeks half pyramid. I still have it in the back of my mind to do a SSST with the 24 kg for ten minutes one day, and the max vo2 training and being able to snatch( pain free) twice a week has brought back that little fantasy.So I wanted to do more than the 200 reps I would need to finish the Rite Of Passage test in the SSST style.
I know I need to be able to do at least 15 reps per side for the first couple round in order to have a chance so this is what I did.

Joe wanted me to do another set of 10/10 but I hit a nice round number and my hands were getting cooked. best to stop early rather than late.Wore Tracy's HR monitor the entire time and HR started at 132 and went up about 5-8 BPM each set.This is a good sign as I used to get into the high 170's doing this.Maybe the mvo2 training is helping.had great acceleration and power on each rep too which is good. Still a bit tired from Mondays.

Its amazing what disapears first on me when I have to miss training. My glutes and hips go first; amazingly quickly too, and then the quads....

Hey Rif, Do you find your recovery time has imporved too? It seems my HR drops pretty quickly (returns to normal) after a WO.
Hell of a workout. Those pyramids toast me, even though I'm usually under 10,000 lbs of volume.
sara yes, my recovery time and 'wind' has seemed to be much improved.I see the carryover from the mvo2 work to these higher rep /high volume days.
thanks aaron, the only thing harder than going up is coming down.
Yeah, after the 20/20, the 18/18 is not much of a "slack" set, is it? Those pyramids really suck ass.
