Goal was 12-15rpm. I hit a tad over 13 on average.

Long Cycle 2x32kg - 6,7 reps
3' rest
Long Cycle 2x28kg - 9,9,10 reps

Rest of the session included front squats, split squats, rows, push ups and also made muscle ups. Haven't tried to do those for several years, but I still can do them - good stuff!

It's probably a WTH effect of doing pull ups to stomach height and practicing +30kg pull ups, but I don't know..

🔵 Glove snatch 14kg 6'(3')@ 16rpm

One arm jerk pyramid (1'/3') 🟠 28kg 8+8 reps 🟢 26kg 12+12 reps 🟢 24kg 14+14 reps 🟣 22kg 16+16 reps 🟡 18kg 18+16 reps

🟢 Swing snatch 24kg 2*4'(3')@ 11rpm

New PR for snatch for me. Everything felt great and I hit 197 reps in 8’ total! Also tried jerk for the first time since hurting my knee and I was able to do 122 reps in 8’ total and I can actually hear my feet stomping which is a great sign for me!

🟠 OALC 28kg 4' / 49 reps

PR!

This was a test set for July nationals. I think I'll go with a 32kg bell.

Minutes 1-10 = 60 reps, 11-20 = 59, 21-30 = 83 reps

Successfully finished my first full 10min Long Cycle set with 2x16kg bells. Hit 94 reps!

It was fun until about the 6min mark and then I was continually asking myself why I wanted to do this, and then before I knew it, it was done! 🙌

Now progression question, I intend to repeat the same program (~6 week Denis Vasilevs program) but should I up it to 18kgs or stay at 16 and shoot for a s solid 100+ reps?

The attached video is sped up except like the last 1-2 minutes

Block 2 Week 1 Day 1
I usually train at 3:30 am but this phase calls for different weights that I don’t have in my work gym so I’m changing it up and training after work now. I still got in early and got 30 minutes of cardio this am.
18kg Snatch 2’ x 4 162 reps total
Double 24kg Strict Press 4 x 5 20 reps
Double 24kg Rows SS with swings 3 x 10

Rack felt good today. 1 minute intervals give a false sense of security.

🔵 Glove swing snatch 12kg 6'(3')@ 12rpm

🟣🟣⚫⚫ Jerk 20kg/22kg 8*1'(1') 8/6rpm / last round 18rpm / switch every round

⚫ Pause snatch 26kg 4'(3')@ 2rpm

I am already gearing up for the July marathon and pentathlon comp in australia then the worlds in Scotland in nov

The plan is to get both strong and fast in the event

I have been playing with one min swaps for the pentathlon events instead of 3pm sec to see how it feels and if it’s a viable strategy as I up the weight

It seems to be working on the combo of half snatch and one arm jerks on a 4 min on 2 min off principle for rounds

For the Friday I did this I hit 18 rpm on my half snatch at 20kg and then 20 plus for the one arm jerk

No real tricep fatigue or general fatigue to speak of which was nice as I did my cardio prior

Here is the second set of one arm jerks so close to 100 reps in 4 mins

The kbsport app is a life saver in counting and keeping me honest

Much later start than normal for me, about 14 hours later than normal but I felt strong today!

Last training day of my stabilization block. This block was all about not putting pressure on my knee until we got the results back from the doctor. I had a lot of fun with the heavy pressing and snatching! I can’t wait to get back to jerks in a few weeks though!
18kg Snatch 2’30” x 2 104 reps, Snatch 1’30” x 2 74 reps
