20 kg SSST Practice

OK, things are getting back on track now although the 50 sets of 8 in the vo2 max kicked my ass much more than I thought they would. It was a nice reminder that although my lower back issues seem a long ways away now, that they can rear their ugly head in a heartbeat if you don't pay attention.
Glory is temporary, pain is forever. Or at least back injuries are.
I have not been doing enough back bends over the ball and my diaphragm and lower abs got locked down a bit. Yoga doesnt help this either as there are tons of situps and movements where the tva is activated hard. I also haven't done enough rifga updogs and back over the ball stretches and the lumbar spine said hello a couple hours after the workout. At least it was a tap on the shoulder not a baseball bat to the spine. I am greatful and got it resolved very quickly. Lesson learned.
Again.
But today went well although I had delusions of 40 rep sets I am just not there yet, even with the 20 kg.At least not at the intensity level ( low to medium) that I want in this phase of training.Rebuilding volumen and gpp , not intensity.

Snatch
16kg x5/5/5/5 x3

20 kgx 10/10/5/5 x6 sets
x10/10/10/10 x 1 set
220 reps
9680 lbs

very, very solid workout and the pace was good as it was just Nick and I although Nick did try to pretend Jonathan was in the rotation . Nick is still acclimating from this being squat day to high rep snatche day, which he has hardly done at all. Nick is tough.He was a collegiate wrestler, 'nuff said.
It's good for him :))

Bottoms up cleans
20 kg x5/5
24 kg x5/5
32 kg x5/5

these were ok but I should have taken the 28 kb intermediate step as the 32 kg was a bit shaky.Glad to have these back in my routine. I'm pretty strong on them and like them. good to somethings I'm good at back in the mix.

datsit. a double yoga class tomorrow is under discussion. It seems though,that with the amount I sweat planning two classes in a row might require more logistics and clothing changes than an assault on everest.we'll see.
