Looks real easy with the 1min breaks. Would you bother doing it again?

Inspector Coptoor · 21-06-2012 9:52pm

That's workout A.

There's a workout B & C aswell which i try at some stage.

It wasn't that easy.
I'm not that keen on pushing the con side of things so this is just the kind of thing I want to be doing on non-WL days a couple of times per week.

I just did it as its written & I pushed the rounds when I was doing them, harder than I probably would have in a longer 15 min work block without the 60s rest.

It was interesting & short.

Wouldn't want to overtrain

Was just wondering whether it was something you were trying and whether you weren't/ were interested in trying it again.

It just looked like a low level of reps at a light weight with a long rest. I'm just curious about it is all. You know me, I like my conditioning and I LOVE new things to try!

Inspector Coptoor · 21-06-2012 10:05pm

Well sure try one of the workouts with me one of the days over the summer and see what you think?

Will I email you the ebook?

For the record, 2 x 24kg KB floor press x 20 ain't that light or easy!

felt like ****e during this session.
It was disgustingly warm & I started sweating foam rolling at the start.
Was catching the heavier cleans as power cleans, even cleans at 75 felt heavy so decided to skip the front squats today.

Got annoyed with myself for not front squatting so gave it a lash

6. Front Squats
60kg - 3
80kg - 3
100kg - 6 x 3

Sets 5 & 6 weren't pretty on the third rep but I got them all.

My calves are really sore from all the front squatting so rolled then out for ages with a cricket ball.
The right calf is tighter than the left.

Weird that I'm feeling front squats more in my calves than my quads.
My position at the bottom has improved a lot, I'm way more upright. Calves just need time to catch up I guess.

I don't know what to think about this.

Technically my power snatch has increased by 6kg & my power clean by 5kg.
I'm annoyed at catching the heavier cleans as power cleans and I'm now in the weird situation where my snatch is 1kg more than my power snatch & my power clean is 1kg more than my clean.

Resting up over the weekend.
