Cycle 1 Za (H)
Warm up -> Goblets (GS): 2 x 3 / 24 -> Get Up (GU): 2 x 1 / 32
Practice:
>Clean + Press (C+P): 5 x 1,2,3 / 16 ( 5x3L/16)
>Snatch (SN): 52 x 16kg / 6 minutes 85% effort ( 52x16/6m)
* I tried doing the pull ups the first set, but found it pretty hard even with 'light' resistance. C+P didn't accelerate my breathing much so I managed to complete the sets/ladders quickly, but it's still a lot of volume and 16 kg didn't feel too light for this routine at all. Doing a ballistic after the grinds might become too much with heavy bells. Now I understand
Overall I enjoyed it, both CP & SN.
Doing the cp's with pull ups, with maximum volume 5x5L then 12 minutes of hard swings would be incredible brutal and perhaps take over 45 minutes for the grinds alone with a heavy bell. Too long. My experience with long workouts vs short workouts is that short workouts are more effective...... and high frequency defeats 'DE-motivation.' So for the sake of keeping it less than 45 minutes of work per day I won't do the pull ups.
