20 kg snatch:
Switch every 10 reps
220 reps total, about 17 minutes

This time was FUCKING HARD. Not sure why, must be one of those down cycles, but even before I got to 100 reps I struggled with the breathing, and by the end of the workout my abdominals were screaming. Large(r) volume also uncovers technical flaws: left forearm was much more tired than the right; calluses of the left hand are also more irritated.

All that matters today though is that I managed to do more reps than last time, so all is well.

Smet, I was going through the archives (GSA40) and never found a Ryabchenko 2. Did I miss it or was it never posted? Could you cite the reference for us?
Thanks
David

David, what citation are you talking about? The article by Ryabchenko?

girevikdavid said...

Yes, I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I want to read the entire article. If it's in Russian I'll get someone to translate for me.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
