My shoulders were still feeling a little beat up from all the C&P ladders on Tuesday so thankfully I was going to do a GS Snatch session for time.
I actually didn't have alot of time to train so just did continuous snatches with a 16kg Girevoy Sport Kettlebell
. Now I know 16 kg is pretty light but for this workout the aim is to continuously snatch the kettlebell and fine tune snatching technique. I swapped hands every minute on the minute and went 12 minutes straight.
I tried to concentrate on getting the drop correct on my left side as it wasn't rolling around the wrist properly. By the end of the session my technique was definitely better ... and when the only place to rest is with the kettlebell overhead that 16kg soon starts to feel a lot heavier.
Although it is quite light this workout has a completely different feel so it is good to put it after my big C&P day
Workout 16kg / Snatch for 12 min continuously, alternate arms each minute
This weeks training has overall been a bit light as I have backed off so i am looking forward to ramping it back up in June
