New Snatch Combo

I never really know what combinations I'm going to do until I get into my workout. Depending on how my strength feels that day, or what kind of workout I had the day before.

I never give myself an easy workout. I always know how far I can push it. If I feel like the particular combinations I'm doing that day are "easy" I do more of them, maybe I change the rest period. Or add harder combinations.

I want to maximize my KB workouts because I know how much they can change my body. I'm always motivated for maximum results.

Tuesday was the first time I tried this new combination,(#3 & #4) here they are:

8:30 KB

Warm up 40 2 hand swings x 5 sets = 1 min. on 1 min. off
total 10 min.

#1 1 swing, 1 high pull 10 L, 10 R x 2 sets = 1 min. on 1 min. off
total 4 min.

#2 1 swing, 1 high pull, 1 snatch, 1 trans., 8 L, 8 R x 2 sets = 2 min. on 1 min. off total 8 min.

#3 1 swing, 1 snatch L, 1 trans, 1 snatch R
1 trans, 2 snatch L, 1 trans, 2 snatch R
1 trans, 3 snatch L, 1 trans, 3 santch R
1 trans, 4 snatch L, 1 trans, 4 snatch R
1 trans, 5 snatch L, 1 trans, 5 snatch R
1 trans, 6 snatch L, 1 trans, 6 snatch R

#4 Reverse #3
1 swing, 6 snatch L, 1 trans, 6 snatch R
1 trans, 5 snatch L, 1 trans, 5 snatch R
1 trans, 4 snatch L, 1 trans, 4 snatch R
1 trans, 3 snatch L, 1 trans, 3 snatch R
1 trans, 2 snatch L, 1 trans, 2 snatch R
1 trans, 1 snatch L, 1 trans, 1 snatch R

Both of these sets took me 2 min. to complete, I took 1 min. rest inbetween and I alternated them 5 times for a total of 10 sets = 30 min. total

#5 1 swing, 1 high pull, 1 snatch, 1 trans, 8 L, 8 R x 3 sets 2min. on 1 min. off
total 9 min.

#6 1 swing, 1 high pull, 1 snatch, 1 trans, 4 L, 4 R x 2 sets 1 min. on 1 min. off
total 4 min.

Total work out time 65 min.

Set # 3 was much harder than set #4. I really felt it today!

Tuesday Food

I felt hungry all day. Even when I finished a meal I felt like I could eat more. Little did I know the day would end with a mini sugar binge (about 700 cal.). I haven't been craving sugar but, when I still felt hungry after my last meal, I came across some candy that was leftover from Saturday (I knew I should of thrown it out!) it seemed so appetizing I started and I couldn't stop.

Unfortunately I have an all or nothing personality so when I go bad I go all the way. At that point my attitude is "Oh well I've already blown it what's the difference between 350cal. or 750cal.? I'm going to feel bad just the same. I might as well take advantage of falling of the wagon.".

Even though I find myself falling off the wagon, the difference for me is that the very next day I'm back on.
