Snatches, swipes and mills

I really love this combination of movements. My new three favorites.Doing speed work snatches on wednesday really does prepare me well for heavier reps on saturday.It also helps not to be in pain all the time too.I kinda almost remember how this feels :))

Snatches
16kgx5/5x3
20 kgx10/10x11 sets
x10/10/5/5x1 set
250 reps
11,000 lbs.

300 was the number I had in my head but each set was done as fast as possible and by 200 I was re thinking 300. I wanted to also do a max set of swipes with the 15s after snatches and wanted to leave a little for that.so 250 it was. very happy with everything though. groove was great and speed and acceleration were great. Lockout very solid too although no pause; constant motion.

2cb swipes
10sx10x2
15sx 50 reps PR

First time I have done these with the 15's and was pleasantly surprised and more respectful at the same time. If I did these fresh I could see 75 reps but the 15's are definitely much more of a handfull than the 10s.Go figure ;) Much more cardio as it gets heavier too.No real suprise there.

gama cast, circular cast, circle cast to flag
25lb CB x 3 sets
one cb swing x10 each arm
pendulum swing to order 5 each arm
one arm swipes 5 each arm!!!!( now this suprised me.Not easy but I could do it with a medium choke)

Heres some video of the cb work for David


Mills
1x20/20 with 10lb
1x20 /20 with 15lb ( first time with this as well)

heres the video of the mills with the 10


Very solid day, energy good,felt strong.Havent seen any video of myself doing the mills so that is good. Have lots of work to do on my technique I see.

Datsit!

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
