Took about 16 minutes.  Same as last week.

24 kg SN ladder, 3/3, 6/6, 9/9, 12/12 - 2X.  120 reps total.  Took me just over 16 minutes.  I had to just take it easy with time.  I was gassed, but wanted to get the volume in.

This compares to 3/3, 6/6, 9/9, 12/12 and 3/3, 6/6 last week - 78 total reps.  Took 9 minutes.  In some ways it is regressing if the focus was for time, but it wasn't.  I wanted to get quality reps, and get through 2 rounds.

8:10am - Complete

Notes - Well you know I am proud of this training session.  It was hard,  No other way to put it.  Doing 25 reps of DB SQ with the 24s, 100 reps with the 1H SW with a 32 kg, and then doing 120 reps on snatches with a 24 kg.  It took me 45 minutes, which is on the long side of my recent training sessions, but I had to take time with the snatches.  I was noticing fatigue already on the 4th superset and thought "oh boy I still have to snatch."  But I did it, I did not rush myself, I really focused on keeping quality of the movements and I was able to do that.  Lots of recovery in order now before snatching for time on Friday.  We'll see how 7/7 for 8 minutes goes - I think it is going to be tough.
