Still easier on the right.

VO2 - 4/26/09

Just got down to business with some snatches today.

-Lower/Upper Body Twist, Shoulder Sweep, Sit&Reach, ASLR, Ham Curl w/Ball, Rolling Pattern

-Snatch VO2(15:15) 16KGx8 - 60 sets
First 50 sets had a good pace but the last 10 slowed just a bit. I didn't tear but I have a little hot spot under the callus on my right, middle finger. Not making excuses but that messed with my timing on the last 10 sets a bit.

That was all I could take today! Stretched the hips a little and called it a day.

Snatchin' - 4/19/09

Needed to get the lungs burnin' a bit today.

-Usual warm

Getting Back At It Again - 4/18/09

Selling our house, having a baby, and then having to move to the new house finally caught up to me. The last week or so I have been worn out. So...I took it easy and decided today was the day I needed to get a little work done. Here's how it went.

-The usual warm up moves

-SLDL 24/24KGx5/5 - 3 sets
Want to start working more with these and pistols. I think I really need the one legged work.

Alt w/

-2 KB Press 24/24KGx5 - 3 sets

Here's when the fun started...I just got a 37.5lbs blob and a 35lbs plate with a good hub on it.
Took me a few tries to get the hang of the blob but I got a good lift with each hand on video. I also got the 35lbs hub with 3 - 2.5lbs plates on it with each hand. Cool stuff!



-Ab Roll Out x5 - 3 sets

-40 Card Tear

That's it for today. Snatchin' tomorrow.
