VO2Max-Mix

Calling it "easing" into upping the weight for VO2Max would be exaggerated as it was everything except easy :)

#1
15:15, 40 sets, 10 times through these 4:
9reps @12kg, L, R
8reps @16kg, L, R
It makes 20 sets of 9 (180, 180pts) @12kg and 20 sets of 8 @16kg (160, 320pts), 340 snatches in 20min, 500pts.

#2
36:36, 12 sets, 3 times through these 4:
22L @12kg
9R/9L @16kg
22R @12kg
9L/9R @16kg
That's 6 sets of 22 @12kg (132, 132pts) and 6 sets of 18 @16kg (108, 216pts), 240 snatches in cca. 15min, 348pts.

Total today: 580 snatches, 312 @12kg and 268 @16kg, 848pts.
Grand total: 3480

Early morning sessions  seem to be a good idea :)

Thanks, Nikki,
as one half of the week I do other workouts, I have to ramp it up a bit on the remaining days... :)

Mark,
exactly this is the trick of it! The more complicated it is, the more things you have to concentrate on, the less attention you can pay to fatigue. (Ask your wife, I've got this from her, too! ;))

Franklin,
I guess a healthy amount of 'sickness' is a prerequisite of even touching a kettlebell... :)

Franz,
I seem to have solar cells built in... I can't bring myself to get up early in winter, with all that cold and darkness, but now it is just fine. And the whole day is different after some ballistics done, everything seems easier.

Dr. Cheng,
please, stay... :)
