50,000 Plus Snatches!

Sunday, January 24, 2010

I hit the 80 sets of 8 for the sixth time today in the 15:15 protocol. This put me over 50,000 total. Viking Warrior Conditioning has totally changed my strength endurance and pushed me to levels I thought I could never reach. I thank Dragon Door and Kenneth Jay for introducing me to the best fitness tool available!

Over the last year I hit 80×8 six times, 85×8 once and 100×8 once.

My training looked like this:

I did timed snatches with the 16kg bell today. I did sets of 8 with each arm with approximately 15 second rest between hand switch. I did 80 sets of 8 in 39 minutes and 45 seconds.

Snatch – 16kg bell – 80 sets of 8 – 640 reps

Snatch total – 49,710 + 640 = 50,350!

I still felt strong after so I did some other training to finish:

Gama Cast – 45lb clubbell – 30 reps
Smith Machine Incline Press – 185lbs – 30 reps
Spideman Plank – 3 reps
