Snatching to the Max...

As indicated in an earlier post, I just received and read Viking Warrior Conditioning by Kenneth Jay. This book is the definitive guide to VO2 Max and will become a staple of my conditioning program, especially leading up to the RKC in June. Workout looked like this:

Warmup: Pavel's DVD, Relax into Stretch (followed this DVD about 1 hour before workout); ETK wall squats, halos, and pumps.

Workout:

• Snatch 16k bell, 15:15 protocol
• Cadence = 7 reps/set each 15 seconds
• 30 sets = 210 snatches

Actually performed similar workout on Wednesday, March 18. Snatched 16kb bell using the 15:15 work/rest protocol with a cadence of 6/6 reps. Did 35 sets for the same total of 210 reps, however, tonight's training achieved the same results in less sets and less time.

I noticed my breathing got a little sloppy around 25 sets. Had to mentally re-focus on the work and the proper breathing pattern.
