Fooled you pervert, it's still just my training blog. I moved the kettlebell collection into my bedroom and pushed the bed into the corner. It's a little cramped but I've seen Youtube vids of Russians training in closet-sized apartments so I figure I'm good.
Today is Kettlebell Snatches and Front Squats.
I 8 sets on the 2nd-minute of snatches.
The first 6 sets - 40 lb kettlebell x 7/7 x 2 sets, 53 x 5/5 x 2 sets, 40 x 7/7 x 2 sets, 40 x 30/30
So the last 4 minutes I did 60 snatches with the 40 lb bell consecutively which was very hard. I have not been practicing more than 20 reps at a time recently and paid the price. I think I will stick with this format of doing 6 2-minute sets for strength and the last 4 minutes for conditioning.
The sets with the 53 lb bell were incredibly ugly. I'm gonna practice more 1-arm swings and hi-pulls with this bell to improve that.
Front Squats - that last round of snatches gassed me so all I was able to do for 30 seconds work/30 seconds rest was 4 sets of about 12 reps with a pair of 35 lb bells. This was incredibly hard. Grace found me lying in bed like I was sick. It felt like it was taking forever to cool off and get my heart-rate down.
All in all going good. The snatches with the 53 lb bell were somewhat disheartening. It was exactly the opposite of how I felt last week when I pressed the 53's for 5 reps last week. Every workout is different and I dont want to put pressure on myself. It will get there when it gets there.
