Workout 24.2.2011

Another intense set of Kettlebell and bodyweight exercises. Divided into three sections, the first a power/strength section, then a lower intensity double set of bodyweight, then a tough kettlebell circuit.

a) Strength for Time: 4 sets of 4 reps, timed at 3m11s

• Clean & Press @ 24kg + 16kg (need to get a pair of 24kgs)

b) Bodyweight+: 2 sets of 12 reps

• Ring Pullups
• Squats (double) @ 16kg + 8kg

c) Circuit: 3 sets, 30s per exercise, no break between exercises, 90s rest between sets. All performed with a 16kg Kettlebel

• Snatch L
• Swing L
• Clean L
• Plank
• Snatch R
• Swing R
• Clean R

I should have fully counted my reps per exercise but I didn’t although I was usually hitting from 10-15 reps per exercise with one exception, my first set of snatches on the left where I rocked out 18 snatches and realized that I’d burn out way too fast at that pace.

Circuits are such an intense mental experience; the first one is the kickoff where you start throwing down hard, the second one is where you start questioning why you’re doing this and the third was where I bucked up and pushed through my walls.
