I've been doing escalating density snatches once a week ala @Brett Jones prep guide, preparing for SFG 1 in November. I use the 20 kg for now and been using a HRM.
I'm a bit intrigued by the HR graphs. Below are my sessions with 7/7, 8/8 and 9/9 reps on the minute. It was 12 minutes, 10 minutes and 8 minutes the duration of each session.
First, I find it interesting that both average HR and peak HR were higher with 7/7 than with 8/8 and 9/9. It was 171 avg/182 peak vs 169 avg/181 for the denser sessions.
My conclusion from this is that, for more density than 7/7, my HR just can't go any higher and my aerobic system is contributing up to that much? Does that make sense? So higher density than 7/7, the energy system is necessarily glycolitic. If this is the case, what is being trained by the high density sessions?
Thoughts?
I'll tag a few who have been doing snatches with HRM. @Anna C @Steve W. @Snowman @fractal @Bret S.
7/7 OTM, 12 minutes.
8/8 OTM, 10 minutes
9/9 OTM , 8 min
