@Bauer, thanks a bunch. It's a program that has been working tremendously for me. With the snatches, I do set the bell down between switching hands. I most certainly could do it without the rest, but I find that the first hike from the ground to be very beneficial at improving power production through the remaining reps. With Phase 3 coming up in a few weeks, I think the rest will be much appreciated with the higher rep counts.

Pump stretch and thoracic bridges
24kg DCL&P

Same NL as last week, but almost 3 minutes quicker. I could've rested and then do another set, but the last rep of set 8 took almost everything.

7 x 7 in 20 minutes
No cool down.....
I had to cut the session short, because....children. My workout space is in the basement underneath one of my boys' rooms, and they were having a full out brawl at 6:15am. Normally I let brothers be brothers, but when there's risk of waking my wife, you need to step in.

Change of plans or just some variety?
Edit: I see, probably just some act of awesomeness.

It's my first vacation in about a year. My plan will remain to start doing King Sized Killer Phase 1 with the 32kg followed by Giant 3.0 with 2x28kg upon my return!

Geoff sent out an email a while ago that talks about the benefits of unilateral front squats. I can attest, even with doing a boat load of deadbugs and hollow holds, that he is correct. My obliques are nice and on fire this week!

Back again from vacation. Spent the days still getting in activities that include swimming and plenty of walking along the beach. My wife and I still found gym time in the mornings where I was doing Strength Aerobics with a 50lb dumbbell for 20-30 minutes and chin ups/dips on the other days in between.
Today, I’m prepping my body to start snatching again for KSK next week. I was doing a combination of rep ladders and weight ladders for 25 minutes. The air in Mexico is heavier so my breathing recovered faster now that I’m back in Wisconsin.
