After achieving 5 ladders of 5 rungs on continuous Clean & Press & Pull/Chin ladders I have increased from using the 20kg kettlebell up to the 24 kg kettlebell      i of course dropped the resp back to only 3 runngs and have started with 3 ladders.

 Cont C&P ladders 24kg/1-2-3-4/1-2-3/1-2-3
Pullups                        BW/1-2-3 /1-2/1
Chins                            BW/-4   /-3 / 2-3

For the pullups once the reps almost got to failure i swapped to close grip underhand chinups to complete the rung

Time 11 minutes

Rest 5-6 minutes

Swing/Snatch/Burpee combo - from Ross Enamait

Swing 24kg/ 5/5    /5/5    /5/5
Snatch 24kg/ 5/5   /5/5    5/5
Burpess              10        10       10

First 2 sets obly 1 minute between then increased to 2 minutes for last set.  really blowing after Burpees (jump at end)

Started with swing straight into snatch on same arm but on last set converted over to R swing then L swing r snatch then l snatch as its supposed to be.

The first method was harder.  Was blowing at end 

 

 


For today's workout I dropped back from my previous total on this day of 210 reps of snatches at 7/min and increased the pace to 10/min

I found the increased pace definitely harder as eached set of 10 took about 45 seconds to complete therefore only leaving 15 secs for recovery.

Started the build up with only ten sets on the minute.

GS Snatches 24kg/10 sets x 10 reps = 100 reps in 10 minutes

For mext GS snatch intercal workout keep the same pace for 10-11 minutes but then add further time at a reduced pace to recover enough to add some more volume back up to 200 reps


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 16 kg Girevoy 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
