Work sets

#1 w/26
1 swing , 1 snatch, 1 trans. 6 L, 6 R 1 min. on 1 min. rest

#2 w/36
10 2 hand swings, 20 trans., 10 2 hand swings 1 min. on 1 min. rest

#3 w/26
12 snatch L, 1 trans., 12 snatch R 1 min. on 1 min, rest

#4 w/36
10 2 hand swings, 10 trans., 10 2 hand swings, 10 trans. 1min. on 1 min. rest

I did these 4 sets in this order for 6 sets each. All four combinations took 8 min. x 6 sets = 48 min.

Total workout 62 min.

The work sets in this workout were fairly easy. In fact the 1 min. rest inbetween sets was probably 15 secs. too long. But after yesterdays 4.5 min sets and the 5 minutes of snatching I just wanted to put my time in, that's why I kept a slower pace but for longer than I normally would.
