Which means I probabaly have done double...100,000 since she did 99% of her snatch reps in one my classes, and I train at snatches at least twice as much!)<br /><br />Amyway, back to your question....<br /><br /><br />The whole point is about progressions. I coludn't do then what I can do now. I wrote the content of my DVD to show how anyone can build their own workloads in the same ways I do...."build" is the key word.<br /><br />Everyone has to start somewhere, and wherever you are is a great place to be...as long as it's in the gym training!<br /><br />If you are training swings 3 times a week for 30 minute workouts, then try and do some cl/pr or snatches for 10-12 minutes before your swings....maybe it's time to train a bit longer instead of adding in another completely new training day.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-24077427931726484772010-12-27T14:46:31.262-08:002010-12-27T14:46:31.262-08:00When you first started this training, how fatigued...When you first started this training, how fatigued did you get? I'm currently doing swings by alternating sets 2 handed, then 1 handed. 11 two-handed, then 6 each side one-handed. 30 sets (15 of each), resting "on the minute", thanks to your high volume swinging inspiration. I've found that often, the next day, when I'm due to do cleans/presses, and snatches, I'm pretty darn fatigued, and have been skipping them here and there. I still manage to get 3 days of swings in but not always getting in c/p's and snatches.Fatguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375699147403166039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-54286285011411208972010-12-27T11:40:42.511-08:002010-12-27T11:40:42.511-08:00Fatguy,

I must be doing something wrong, I do 12 reps total (6 each side) in 25 seconds, or I'm not completely understanding what you're saying.Fatguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375699147403166039noreply@blogger.com
