Thursday Dbl's....for weenies....not!

Good-ness! The one workout that is the hardest for me to do alone is my doubles and/or press workout. It's hard for two reasons, dbl's are heavy that's why I prefer to keep the rep count at 5, even swings, and five reps don't fit evenly into intervals, so it's much easier to do with a partner (s)! Of course I write all of my own workouts and let me tell you...as much as I like to kick my own ass, sometimes I find myself turning into a big weenie. This may be because I swing for about an hour before hand? (maybe, huh?) It's not like I skip the swings.....

40 minutes of swings

15 minutes of swing/snatch combinations

Basically as I try to explain in the video, each rotation has 5 sets. 4 sets of short dbl cl/presses and one longer set of dbl snatches. Each rotation took 3 minutes to complete, each rotation added one extra dbl snatch rep in the same 30 seconds time until I reached 17 reps. At 17 reps I worked into my rest period. In other words the first seven rotations I did 10-16 dbl snatch reps, adding one extra to each rotation. I had to set the pace slightly faster each rotation. It's physically impossible to do more than 16 light dbl snatch reps in 30 sec, which is a Vo2 Max pace.

Originally I was going to weenie out and ladder up to 15 and the ladder down. I knew each rotation only lasted 3 minutes so I had to repeat it at least 10 times for 30 minute workout. 10-11-12-13-14-15-14-13-12-11-10..... But I rose to the occasion....it was only a 30 minute workout for God's sake! 10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20...it'll start getting hard around 15!
