TRAINING/NUTRITION BLOG: 10/01/13. Time for 5,000 Snatches in 5 Weeks.

[Jim B]

TRAINING: 

After my weeks of getups and two days of rest, it is time to start up my yearly 5,000 snatch project. Every October I do 5,000 kettlebell snatches @ 1,000 per week for five weeks. 

1030AM-

50 reps with 16kg (haven't snatched a 16 in years...just to make sure I could still snatch, since I haven't been them much lately). 
50 reps with 24kg. 
2 Tabata snatch rounds with 24kg. 
These sets are easy in execution, but seem to pay off way more than it would seem. 

(I suppose when you think about it, you are snatching at a rapid pace for a long time. The movement speed is like doing 20RPM, and you end up doing it for up to 16 minutes per day if you do 4 sets. I just thought of that yesterday.)

212 reps total for today.
