22 kg Snatch day



This cycling process is working out very well. We did the first day of the new rep scheme- 9/9- with the 22 kg and it was pretty easy. Cardio was fine, hands fine, technique fine. We ended up doing 162 reps in 9 sets and it was not a problem. Just as I had hoped.

The goals:
24 kg : 10 sets of 10/10
22 kg : 7 sets of 15/15
20 kg : 5 sets of 20/20

Each wave will be three weeks long. culminating in  a workload of 200 reps( or so). Then recycle with a one rep per set higher rep count until the goals are reached. Once that happens I will re think the next phase but if I can do those numbers on a regular basis I will be very happy camper.

Plus it was FREAKING FREEZING in my garage this morning. 32 degrees on the nose! Wore more layers to warm up and it was fine after 5 minutes.

Snatch
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 3/3
22 kg x 9/9 x 9 sets
162 reps
7938 lbs ( getting up there!)

Gama Casts
25 lbs x 20 x 2
35 lbs x 10 ( too heavy today :)
25 lbs x 20 

loving this move.My shoulders and upper back were too tired for the 35.

Pushups on straight bar, feet on bar

8
6 ( with mini band across back - too much)
10!

yes! NO CLUNKING at all. A key seems to be going ALL the way down, pausing and then flexing back up. This feels EXACTLY like my barbell bench technique. The bands gave too much tension at the top and none at the bottom. Just playing around. Don't be greedy.
