High volume swings......

Tried to make the most of what little time I had tonight and it went like this -

16kg 1hd swings
10/10/10/10 x 2 x 10 sets
2 min wk /1 min rest
800 reps

This was hard work right shoulder niggled?? And after first 6 sets my grip was a real test to say the least

On another note Broke fast early today and ate late - nothing much just broke the routine BAD BOY !

That is all sng

Snatches............

Plan was snatches and once again it went to plan.....
A bit like this -
W/up 16kg swing 5/5/5/5 x 5 sets

12kg snatch 10/10 x 10 sets
16kg snatch 7/7 x 15 sets
20kg snatch 5/5 x 1 sets

This was very tough - my shoulder managed ok but my hands hurt like hell

But it was promising to be able to handle the volume without severe pain in my shoulder

Things are on the up!!

That is all sng

Heavy swings......

Really set the bar high today..
Planned on 20kg 1hd swings and aimed for 500
It actually went a bit like this -
20kg 5/5 x 60 sets - 600 swings - this was done at the tail end of a 17 hr Fast and I'm pleased to say I felt as strong as the proverbial horse
My hands coped better than of late but I put that down to a much lower temperature

Really enjoyed this today - I guess that it was the benefit of a few days rest eh?

That is all sng

Snatches ......

Decided that maybe I could talk my shoulder into cooperating with the snatch if I used a lighter weight so 12kg it was and I went for it - the plan was 1 min work (30/30) and 1 min rest but due to the light weight it ended up been 2 min sets (30/30/30/30/) which equated to 14/14/14/14 followed by some heavier snatches and swings
Details below -
W/up 16kg swing 10/10 x 4 sets
12kg snatch 14/14 x 2 x 5 sets
16kg snatch 5/5 x 7 sets
16kg swing 10/10 x 2 x 5 sets

Felt real strong and shoulder coped well with the snatch shame my hands don't !!

That's all sng
