  1. Hi TR...
    do you and/or Mark wear a HR monitor during your sessions? If so what kind of readings do you get in your sessions. How about calorie burn?? if you are able to monitor it.

  2. Britt,

    I need to do that! I just need to get in the habit of taking my HR.

    But....I purposely combined swings with snatches for a high volume workout to see if I could make my snatch workout harder....and oh boy, did it!

    What I liked about this workout was the work to rest ratio. Out of a 65 min workout, 55 minutes of that was work! It wiped me out pretty good for the rest of the day, lol.

  3. britt,

    I dont wear a HR monitor anymore but I regularly take my hr in the middle and at the end of sessions.Up until last month when I would do snatch vo2 with sets of 8's I would get 185-190 HR readings, which is the correct level for me.lately I have had a hard time cracking 180 which tells me I have to step up the pace, and that I have gotten a great adaptation to the training.

  4. Tracy,

    You have inspired me so much by your blog, your dedication, your openess about issues, etc. I had purchased kettles awhile back and then had a car accident with a few broken bones and was not ever able to start until recently. I have 3 sizes, one is tiny but it was all I could do after the breaks healed and I lost alot of strength. I have Pavel's book and video but wanted to ask you since I am just not seeming to get *how*.....How do you not bang up your arm with Clean and Presses and even Snatches? In the past 2 weeks I have incorporated both of these, in addition to swings and I LOVE them, except for the bruising ;) Thanks for all of the inspiration and your help!

  5. cj,

    I wear sweat bands around my wrists...not for sweat, but for 'cushion'! You may notice that in my 'swings only' workout videos, I don't wear them, just in clean/press, and snatch workout vidoes!
