Tuesday 36lb. Snatch

Decided to train early on Tues. without any pre-workout sugar. I did feel a difference especially since I chose to do some snatch sets w/36lb.

7:45am KB

Warm up
40 2hand swings w/26 x 3 sets 1 min. on 1 min. rest = 6 min.

2 hand overhead swing, transfer L, transfer R, 2 hand overhead swing, tranfer R, transfer L
1min. on 1 min. rest x 3 sets = 6 min.

1 two hand swing, 1 two hand overhead swing w/36 1 min on 1 min. rest x 3 sets = 6 min.

Work sets

#1
1 snatch, 1 transfer w/26lb. 1 min on 1 min rest

#2
1 snatch 1 transfer w/36lb. 1 min on 1 min rest

Alternating #1 and #2, 6 sets each total 12 sets = 24 min.

repeat set #1 x 3 sets = 6 min.

20 two hand overhead swing w/36 1 min. on 1 min. rest x 3 sets = 6 min.

20 two hand overhead swings w/26 1 min. on 1 min. rest x 1 set = 2 min.
20 two hand overhead swings w/36 1 min, on 1 min. rest x 1 set = 2 min.
20 two hand overhead swings w/26 1 min. on 1 min. rest x 1 set = 2 min.

Total time 60 min.

I had snatched the 36lb. before, but never for sets. Snatching it up wasn't hard but coming down with it was difficult. Just the force of the extra weight coming down was heavy and the fact that the handle is bigger on the 36 also made it more difficult. Even though I had shaved the callouses on my palms before I started I could still feel the "pinching" from them, it was distracting. I felt my left bicep was a little sore on Wed. I won't be doing that again for a while!

I would usually do some bottoms ups swings to end the workout but my grip was gone.
