2 x 20 kg jerk:
2 min/14 reps
2 min/17 reps
2 min/20 reps

16 kg snatch:
switch every 10 minutes
200 reps/16 minutes

Cadence of snatch during the set was about 12 per minute. It was intended more as a cardio workout than specific training for snatch. Kind of long slow run. Though my HR at the end of the set was 188/min, so this intensity is probably at lactate threshold rather than aerobic.

I just ordered Maffetone Method on Bookdepository.com. Very curious to read it.

I want to experiment with some 16 kg snatches. Want to do the same 200 reps but making sure heart rate doesn't go above 130 - 135, my range according to 180 formula. So, if it goes above, put the bell down and rest until HR is below 125, then snatch again. It will probably take 30 - 40 minutes that way. Want to see if these workouts will make any difference in addition to what I am currently doing.
