Beginning Max VO2 Protocol -- Really...

As indicated in an earlier post I learned much about the Max VO2 protocol from Jordan Vezina, RKC via posts on the DD Forum. What I learned is the Max VO2 protocol is all about volume. Since I was unable to achieve the minimum volume (50 sets of 6/6) using the 16k bell, I dropped to the 12k bell (no ego here!) to achieve the minimum of 5o sets. Tonight's training regimen went like this:

Warmup: Z-Health; Joint Mobility; ETK wall squats, halos, pumps

Workout: Max VO2 Protocol -- 50 sets of 6/6 using the 15/15 work/rest cycle, 12k bell -- 300 reps.

*Finished all 50 sets without any additional rests and finished strong...25 minutes of solid work with gas left in the tank. Next round of Max VO2 protocol will go for all 80 sets of 6/6.
