Week 4 Day 1 Snatch Dee Eff Dub

Completed Week 4 Day 1 of my Snatch DFW experiment. 1,2,3,4,5 ladders. 32kg bell and completed 4 full rounds plus (1,2) for a new best of 63 total reps in 30 minutes!! 63 per arm and 63 squats. Previous best was 60 reps total. The ladder days for me are the hardest. I find it more difficult to get Into a solid rhythm versus doing rounds of 1 or 2 or 3. Video shown is my 2nd round.

Completed 30rds in 30mins today of single bell ABC. 32kg bell. Holy moly I'm whooped. Contemplated quitting at round 15. Questioned myself at round 20. Was seeing stars at round 25. Video is the last and final round. Averaged about 30secs rest in-between rounds. I am happy to have accomplished the goal. I shall lay down for the rest of the day. Shout out to the other redditor who also completed 30rds in 30mins of single bell ABC today.

Sandbag Box Squat

Sandbag box squats, 3 sets of 10 with 200lbs, last set rep out for 20. The posterior chain burn is real. Buns feeling like I took the peanut butter shot in bootcamp. Trying to make an effort incorporating more sandbag work.

385lb decade pr(lower volume)

My strongest bench of the decade, 385lbs! I really surprised myself with this one! After five months I wanted to see where I'm at. 375 felt like I had more in the tank, so added 10lbs and gave it everything I had. 5lbs off my all time best at similar body weight. Planning on doing a bench peak block to see if I can add another 5 or 10. The long term goal is 405lbs, 2x BW!

As many rounds as possible ABCs in 5 minutes. We did this every april for several years in another subreddit. Dual 24kgs. Hit a personal best of 18rds this year! Didn't do anything specific to train for this, just winged it. The 20rds elude me again! Lungs, legs and shoulders start to burn real good. About 15minutes to recover.
