Danny – Half Snatch for Time

16kg Half-Snatch for time:

1:00 p/hand x 24:00 x 14 RPM

 
 

Today (Monday)was my first non-stop Snatch workout. It felt good, overall. In the last few minutes, my forearms started to burn a little. I thought I was relaxing my grip pretty well in the rack position, but maybe it was just the volume.

Also, I started to get a tear in my right palm, and on my left pinky finger, so I decided to call it a day. Going into the workout, I wasn't sure how much I could actually do, but I was hoping I could get 30:00; so 24:00 was close enough.

Once I get to 30:00 with no issues, I will switch to the 20kg, and start over, working my way from 5:00 or so. At this point in time, I think the 20kg is my ideal weight, for a good balance of decent weight, that will challenge me on the longer sets. The 16kg was a challenge, but with consistent practice, it will become less of a one. Right now the 24kg is pretty heavy, as far as timed sets are concerned. I can snatch it in a ladder, or interval format, but not for time.

Minor, full-body soreness from the squat workout, and from rolling on Fri. & Sat. *the inside of my legs are more sore than anything, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I may do a light BW workout this evening, or first thing in the morning.

Barbell Squats for Time

Today was my first real workout with Squats for time. We used 111 lbs., and went for 5:00, at about 7RPM. I completed 31 total reps.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this weight/time, and although we both completed it, it was interesting. My legs felt ok, we tried to relax our legs during our 7-8 second rest in between reps.
The biggest issue for me was the tightness on the inside of my thighs...this got quite tense in the last minute or so. Afterwards, it kept irritating me, and I felt like I would be very sore, very soon. But we stretched out some, and due to the tightness we were feeling, we decided to drop the weight to 95#, and switch to a :30/:30 interval format.
We did this for 5:00, and I did 13, 13, 12, 10, 10. The soreness didn't really bother me, and this was about all I had in me for the day, considering I was headed to Judo right after, but we did one BW pull up ladder of: 10 8 6 4 2.

I think the intervals (:30/:30, or 1:00/:30 ??) would be better to start out with, squatting at a more steady pace. For me, I think about 9-11 reps per :30 would be a good start.

Britt, any thoughts/comments?

Jo's clean/squat timed sets

I did 30min contiunous single clean / squat workout; 7 rpm / 20 lbs kettlebell. Didn't have heart rate monitor on but was sweating my butt off so I would assume I was definitley within my range :) Going for 40 minutes of continuous swings tomorrow...

Jo's Tuesday Run

I did my run, but wasn't happy with it. My youngest daughter was involved in a grease fire at her appartment, which burned her hands slightly, so between that and having a rough day at work, and the heat, I wasn't in the best frame of mind, but decided to run anyway.

Here's how it went:
