18 kg snatch: 10L/10R

2 x 18 kg jerk:
40 reps @7 reps/min

2 x 24 kg jerks:
16 reps/2.5 min
(planned to go for longer, but the form started breaking)

2 x 18 kg jerk:
25 reps/3 min

I was doing the first set with 2 x 18 by feel, without looking much at the clock, trying to get to 40 reps rather than staying the time. My feelings confirm conclusions I reached in the post on math: going longer means higher intensity, not so much volume. Even though the set was paced and not rushed, it felt rather heavy. I am going to gradually increase the intensity - the duration of the sets as well as the weights of KBs, while decreasing the total volume of the workout, in order to get to my goals by May.
