I'm totally jazzed that I chose to do 9 reps per 15 sec and wasn't winded at all! Last time I did that,(video a few weeks ago), I couldn't even talk between sets, so my conditioning has gotten that much better...cool.

Since we only did 35 sets Max Vo2, (we did 50 last week), I decided to stay with the 12kg and do swing/snatch combo, and then down to just swings, but keeping the sets @ 2 min. After 5 sets of swing/snatches I had enough snatches! (additional 160 snatches, after previous 405)

So, I did 1 hand swings, 20 L, 20 R, repeat, for 2 min. total, and when that was too hard on my grip, I stayed with the 20 reps on each side (without switching), but traded in the 2 min. work, 1 min. rest for 1 min work, 30 sec rest, twice. It was the same amount of time and the same # of swings, but broken up. (total swings w/12kg, 940)

I suspected for the first time last week that my left arm may now stronger than my right! Over 2 years of always starting with my "weak" side, has made it my "strong" side!
