10/07/09 I ran out of time this evening, but managed to get in a quick bit of snatch practice- 16 kg – 15/15/10/10/5/5 – 60 total rest 3 minutes 24 kg – 15/15/10/10/5/5 – 60 total I’m trying to get back in the snatch “groove” and would like to complete the RKC snatch test by…
VWC baseline – 15 reps max cadence (I just ordered the Viking Warrior Conditioning book. Time to ramp things up. No Winter weight gain for me!)
Pavel taught us the finer points of the Goblet Squat, the Turkish Get-up and the Kettlebell Swing. And through our Team Leaders, we learned the exacting standards that Dragondoor requires in order to be able to teach these moves under the HKC/Dragondoor name.
I discovered that attempting to get ahead of yourself and ignoring your limitations (lack of good sleep, diet) can be a definite detriment to progress.
For my last week of Return of The Kettlebell training, I decided to move up to the final rung of 10, but do 4 ladders with my 24 kg kettlebells.
Last Saturday I finished my second phase grind block with 5 ladders of 5 rungs with the 20 kg kettlebells. I started with the 20s to give my sore elbow a rest and to get into the progression groove. the 16s would have been too light, the 24s would have taxed my elbow too much. So luckily, I had a set of 20s to get me through these grind and explosive kettlebell lifting blocks.
