36:36 x 36 PR/ goal achieved.

After the 80 set sof 8 in the 15:15 max vo2 I decided I needed a slight rest from that specific protocol and chose the 36:36 method of self inflicted torture today.My previous best was 31 sets continuous and the end goal is 35 sets( unless Kenneth has changed it again, I forget,lol). I haven't done this is awhile it seems and had no idea of it would fare. I thought about doing 17 reps per 36 sec, up from my normal 16 but decided since I haven't done a proper one since doing a pr 31 sets in september, but that was with a corkscrew grip which makes things much easier and saves the grip.
This time it was hardstyle with both hands the grip was fine.Trained with Tracy which always makes things easier even though she was doing TWELVE MINUTE sets switching movements every 36 seconds! 12 minutes is one long sets and she did 3 or 4 of them.Crazy.
I had a strong mind today and just kept focused on doing the set at hand and not get ahead of myself mentally.
I had a miserable Bikrams class yesterday on like 3.5 hours sleep and way too much food during the day. I broke my no water rule almost immediately as I was bonking after the standing series and the instructor not only had it hot as hell but didnt have any circulating air: no fan, no exhaust!
This means higher Co2 levels. No wonder I couldnt breath. Tough class for me but Tracy cruised though her second class that day. Her training has taken off again and things are changing for the better: fast.Either way tomorrows class with be better for me an Ihave to remember to hydrate more during the day.
But today was strong and I blasted through 30 sets no problem.I thought I would actually end on an even number of sets and i liked the symmetry of 36:36 for 36.

I think I might even do this for a few weeks in a row and give the 15:15 a rest although I can't promise anything,lol.This was all grip fatigue which made me slow down towards the end of the set to not lose it but I still made each set with time to spare. 17 reps will be doable and will take my cardio, which this did not.That is so cool to write :))
I will take my very smart wife's training advice and alternate sets of 17 reps with sets of 16 reps next time. This should be better than just doing 17 rep sets til I die,lol.
