200 In 10

2008-10-20T12:59:00.001-07:00

This challenge is a bit tougher than I first thought
Started a few weeks back did 5 left/right every minute for 10 total 100 snatches was not to bad
Next week did 6/6 bit tougher
Following 7/7 then week after 8/8 real killer strange thing people in the gym watch and shrug like it's no big deal banging out. 160 snatches in 10 mins and ask is that all you doing today ?as I lie there for my 20 min recovery :-) some people are so quick to dismiss a 10min workout
To the makers of 6 min abs I am sorry for saying no way !! If that workout was all snatches WoW !!!!!!

2008-06-03T01:26:00.000-07:00

well it`s our(my training partner`s and i) week off deadlifts
can feel the batteries recharging by the minute

spending the week doing jiu-jitsu for an hour a day and working on some KB tech and drawing up some new programs and researching vo2max tests

funny how i really look forward to this week and then it`s here
all a want to do is sneak in a training session.

of which deadlifts is like the best exercise in the world
absolutley love it.

before kettlebells ,i could deadlift and do nothing else and be happy
but the challenge of the bells has really got me hooked over the last 2 years and improved my deadlifts and jiu-jitsu 100 times over

all in all life is good

later
1-van

snatch test

2008-05-22T10:27:00.000-07:00

was a bit pumped up on wednesday so thought i`d hit my snatch test a day early

200 reps turns out to be quite alot :-)

method

20 left /right
18 left /right
16 left /right
14 left /right
12left /right
10left /right
10left /right

got up to the twelves so 160 reps in all , i was happy with the result but think i`ll try the 10 aside every minute , next time blastting out 20 left right makes the mountain seen very big

i`ll do it again in a few weeks do some ladders in the mean time to build some stamina

laters

are my deads dead ?

2008-05-20T15:08:00.000-07:00

last two weeks failed on my deadlift targets not to happy

200k for doubles last week ,got a single

and this week going for a 210 single, failed on the 200k

bit humbling cuz it`s been 4 years since i failed on a deadlift during what i hope was a result of intelligent training and realistic targets

time to to break it down and do a bit of support work and recycle back in ,

i`m only 6 months of a broken leg and 86kg bw so i`m not feeling to sorry for my self

was chatting to and old training patner to night about my recent failures and his response was

"champions are mesured by the response to failure"

think i`ll take that with me as i go for the rkc 200snatch 10min challenge on thursday

and talking about the rkc i`m dumbfounded by my results in correcting clients swing tech in like 2mins , i almost look at them like they were pretending not to know how till i showed them a few remedial drills i learnt in demark
crazy stuff,

big shout out to kevin ,doug, pavel for there amazing teaching skills and knowledge

till next time
