    Very difficult to get moving after yesterday. Went to heavy to early on Clean Grip Snatches. First time doing them and they were very awkward. Couldnt keep upright torso late in the Snatch grip DL's. Felt as though I had been hit by a truck halfway through B set. Yesterday took its toll

    Tabata breakdown...

    I stopped early on the first round thinking that I had more in me but didn't account for insufficient rest between rounds. If I had stuck with 10 or 11 I could have held it throughout. Next time.

  22. Johan,
    You are correct. If you get 15 reps in the first 20 sec set, your goal is to maintain 15 reps/20secs for the next 7 sets.
    There is a bit of gaming to be done, as if you over estimate the reps you can do, you usually fail to get to that number at some point.

  23. Johan,
    Just look at Noah comments for an example of what I was talking about.

    Clean grip power snatches were light and fast, but I found myself favoring my left knee at the catch. Snatch grip DLs were hook gripped and strapless with good tempo - very tough on the thumbs. Swings were to Games standard. Smooth, grip was limiting factor. Extensions performed with arms across chest. Push-ups died quickly after first round of 20. Strict, full ROM for all.

  33. A: 60kg/3, 64/3, 70/3, 74/2, 78/1
    missed the last rep @ 78. First time doing that movement and it was weird!

    B1: 110kg/6 for all sets. Should have gone a lot heavier. I used just over 100% of my snatch; should've gone with 120% or so. Maybe more.

    B2: 2 pood was the heaviest I had. All sets 15, to straight over head-games standard. Wish I had an 88 or a 'beast.
    '
    B3: 20, 20, 20. Might hold a 5kg plate next time. Still burned though!

    C1: 9; 15, 15, 15, 15, 13, 12, 9, 9
    Total: 104

    Pushups are one of my weakest movements for some reason. I was in the army for half a decade too! Lol.

    Took snatches from the floor - were these meant to be from the hang? Based on the tempo I think they were?

    Quickly unloaded bar at bottom of each rep on SGDL. No tap and go reps.

    Pos chain fried on GHD BE.

    Fatigued on pushups much quicker than usual. (12 in the third round?!?)

    Sore, tired, stressed.

    Sn DL felt easy.

    A CGPSnatch: 60/62.5/65/67.5/72.5kg (160#) - Last one was more of a snatch to top of head and press out. All sets of x3 except for last round of x2.

    B1 SGDL: 140/145/150kg (330#) - All sets of 4, no straps. Everything hurt and grip couldn't take anymore weight.
    B2 KBS: 100#/105#/110# - x15 unbroken. Painful last set. Another dip into the "will" bucket.
    B3 GHD BE: 20/20/20 - First 20 unbroken, 2nd set I got to 12, 3rd set got to 5. Finished out to 20 at tempo with quick pauses to allow back pain to subside.

    C TabataPU: 9 (13/13/13/13/10/10/10/9) - Didn't go into this knowing my last but 13 seemed doable. I guessed wrong, I tried but couldn't pull off my 10's. :(

    Notes: Ran 4.2 miles with the family before the workout. Hamstrings are pretty sore from the squats the other day. Looking forward to a day off.

    rwcorson: It was my first tabata,I basicly went to failure each set, are you supposed to hold back to have a better score?

    B3. Round 1 was OK, 2 was rough, 3 was hell.
    C. Paced myself a little here as I generally wind up with a score of 3 or 4 after doing low 20's in rounds 1 and 2.

    Knee felt really good (didn't feel anything in it today).

    Garage gym is coming together...just need to build the Oly Lifting Platform for the infrastructure to be complete. After that, some light KBs and Iron Woody Bands for the wife will have us set until we take the plunge on a weight vest.

  69. Heavy Evy,
    Doing a Tabata for a low score is different from doing a Tabata for total reps. You need to game it a bit to maximize your low score.
    You did 102 reps total, but say you tried to do 14 reps in each of the 8 - 20 sec sets instead, your total reps would have been 112. So, as you can see, you would have done more work by using the low score strategy.
    Even 13/set would have given you more total reps than using the amrap method.
    I hope this helps.

    Clean grip snatch was difficult, my regular snatch is still not where it needs to be (receiving too much weight with my quads), so low weight more focus on tech. Part B smoked my lower back, the 2 pood was bit too heavy, but glad I went for it. Did exactly 9 reps each round for Tabata push ups, was the perfect amount, barely made the last round, do 7 singles.

    first time doing clean grip power snatch, felt a little awkward and pushed them out a little at the top.
    Snatch grip dead lift was new too and felt great, i like this movement and see the benefit and carry over. KBS felt light and easy, need a 2.5 pood. GHD back extensions felt ok considering the sore hamstrings from this last week. Tabata pushups were a disappointment, was on track for a low of 12 but broke down on the last set....felt good overall, however, hamstrings still very sore

  83. I took this session off as I was too sore to even get into the bottom of snatch. Rest and nutrition were way off, so rather than hurt myself, rest was the prudent thing to do.

    Really enjoyed the mechanics of the clean/power snatch, felt really nice once I understood what I was supposed to do. I did the DL with similar loading and form to how I would do snatch pulls in o-lifting (ie without loading about 110% of 1RM).

    The snatch was awful. Weight was light but my form was really off. Stayed light to try and work it out. Part B destroyed by back and grip was limiting factor for the deadlifts. Gamed 10 for tabata, first time gaming, didn't fatigue until the last 2 rounds.

    The clean grip power snatch were pretty easy, probably could have gone heavier. Snatch grip deadlift was still limited by my hands/grip from yesterday. Everything else felt good except the tabata. As you can see, I start off killing it, but I fall apart pretty quick. Working hard on sustainability. Obviously I could do better on an overall tabata score by holding back some on the first couple sets, but I truly went 100% every single 20 seconds.
