8:35am - Complete

Notes -  Very efficient work set.  That is definitely the most reps I have ever done SN the 24 kg, and it was not a problem. Was it hard at the end - a bit, but that was primarily due to grip issues eg a callous below my right middle finger that was getting irritated.  The snatches felt strong and I noticed my pace was even throughout every set all the way through, taking about 30 seconds for the 4/4 and then having 30 seconds for rest, so work rest ratio was about 1:1.  Filed down that callous this evening and I need to stay on top of those and keep the callouses particularly trimmed down before a snatch day.  

8/22/13 Thursday August 22, 2013 (2H SW heavy)

Timed set - 15 minutes, got 150 reps, that is up from 110 one week ago doing the same bells.  Pushed up to 10 rep sets from 5 last week.  10 rep sets is my favorite length for swings.

150 reps total.

8:40am - Complete

Notes - 150 reps total in 15 minutes.  Given how exhausted I felt to start the day this was a lot more than I would have thought would get accomplished.  All of the swings felt very powerful and I was pretty pleased to be able to do solid sets of 10 with the 44kg.  The damn thing is heavy no doubt but I feel confident swinging it.
