Some Easy Strength and Not-so-easy Conditioning work

Splitting the workout again into 2 categories.  Heavy weight with long rests and lighter weights with shorter rests.  I am not sure how much I enjoy training only 2 days a week like I've been doing recently.  I feel strong and my body feels pretty hard but I may switch to 3 days a week since I enjoy training so much.  Here's what I did today:

8 sets 7 reps each side 1-arm kettlebell swing on every 2nd minute.  16 minutes total with the following weights: 35 lb, 40, 40, 53, 53, 53, 53, 53.   The 53 lb bell feels heavy as shit as I've never really did 1-arm swings with it.  I am training this way because I want the 35 lb bell to feel light when I do this conditioning work with it as follows:

Kettlebell Snatches 6 minutes 30 seconds on 30 seconds off with 35 lb kettlebell. 
No resting, followed by
Kettlebell Snatch Holds 30/30 again for 6 minutes.

A very strong 12 minutes!
