It was very nice knowing I only had to do 30-35 sets of 7 today in the snatch.Monday's little foray into power and speed reps left me way more sore than I imagined I'd be and was glad for the break in volume with the snatch today.It was also nice to know that my conditioning level is such that 210 snatches in about 15 minutes is now light volume for me.
5:30 am
60 minutes rifga stretches, foam roller work and full body Z drills
first client cancelled at the last minute so I had a great start to the day with flexibility and mobility work first thing. This is the best way for me to start the day.I usually get 15-20 minutes but the whole hour is perfect and nothing gets left out.I love those new high density foam rollers; they're almost impossible to wear out.
1:30 pm Max Vo2 Snatches 15:15
16kgx 35 sets of 7 reps every 15 seconds.
Had seriously thought I would only do 30 sets today and get a real low volume but I felt fine at 30 and stayed on course with 35.This was the easiest this has ever been. Rep speed is fast too, power is high and my body is not breaking down but adapting. This is good news.

This was tough but good.really could feel how I have to recruit the trunk stronglythrough out the entire movement as I fatigue with this weight.I can't play around with it like I can a bit with the 10lbers.

WOW, this is a monster move!You gotta use everything and with moving tension.was very cautious as this takes everything through very big dynamic ranges of motion.Havent trained in the frontal and transverse planes in many years. If you told me I would be doing this type of dynamic rotational movement with heavy resistance and torque just a few years ago I never would have beleived it possible. Its amazing.
two hand arm cast to flag press( barbarian)

wow. this is what I originally got this monster for. perfect. so great to lock out the triceps hard on this plane. like doing planches and straight arm gymnastics work again.

"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."

NO WAY man,lol. EVERY time I pick up that 25 the first thing I think is "how can 25 lbs be so freakin heavy?"
Can't imagine what 45 lbs of club feels like.
Rif
what is a 2 hand Mill? Is it still like the one arm version? Could you post a vid for me?
Adam
adam,
yes it is exactly. I will get one up on saturday when I train again.
Yeah...about these clubbells...you need to school us :)
Oh yeah, the half foam rollers are good for toe pulls. ;) I brought one back from the last Z and my clients and husband dig it.
sara,
great idea for the foam roller toe pulls, i've been using a rolled up yoga mat.
and yes the clubs are way fun and the perfect compliment to kb training for me.
