If Hardstyle max vo2 with one breath is training at high altitude this was medium altitude. I used just the one breath, but went with the corkscrew to save my grip, my forearms and hence my shoulders.
Last time I did this(http://rifsblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/snatch-vo2-3636-redux.html)
I only used 15 sets per 36 seconds and it wasnt too bad. Stepped it up a notch this time to 16 reps per work bout and it was no problem. Finished each 36 sec bout with at least 2 seconds to spare. As it was last time the 36 seconds rest seemed very long. that was nice. Heartate at the end was just 170ish, too low.next time will have to do this with HS over the top and see what happens.The corkscrew reduces SO much force on the way down its incredible.We'll take this up to high altitude as well.whatever I can do I can do and will build up from there.
It's not where you are now, but where you are going that really matters to me.

"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."

That's a great point about the corkscrew descent. The killer for me on the 36/36 has always been grip, not so much cardio or strength. As you did I have a few seconds lockout at the end, so I should have plenty of time to hit the corkscrew.
Rif,
your KB Fitness level has got to rival some of the GS competitors. You're GPP is good....really good!
jordan,
it really does save the grip,and the forerams, but it really is so much easier. maybe too easy....
franz,
thanks man but I don't think so.my work capacity is certainly better than in many moons but 200 plus reps in ten minutes is still far from my grasp.
"It's not where you are now, but where you are going that really matters to me."
I'm going to Hell. Any advice?
dress for the tropics.
You are more of a smart-ass than I am.
So, jock-strap and shades should do it?
aaron,
is that a surprise?lol. I was thinking more bermuda shorts and shades. didnt need THAT image of you in my head, thanks a lot ;)
"Its not where you are, but where you are going that matters to me." Absolutely love the quote, Rif. It seems like an eternity since I was on your team back in Sept '06. I was invited to assist this September and am looking forward to seeing you again. You are an inspiration, brother.
