Minutes 1-10 = 60 reps, 11-20 = 59, 21-30 = 83 reps

Successfully finished my first full 10min Long Cycle set with 2x16kg bells. Hit 94 reps!

It was fun until about the 6min mark and then I was continually asking myself why I wanted to do this, and then before I knew it, it was done! 🙌

Now progression question, I intend to repeat the same program (~6 week Denis Vasilevs program) but should I up it to 18kgs or stay at 16 and shoot for a s solid 100+ reps?

The attached video is sped up except like the last 1-2 minutes

Block 2 Week 1 Day 1
I usually train at 3:30 am but this phase calls for different weights that I don’t have in my work gym so I’m changing it up and training after work now. I still got in early and got 30 minutes of cardio this am.
18kg Snatch 2’ x 4 162 reps total
Double 24kg Strict Press 4 x 5 20 reps
Double 24kg Rows SS with swings 3 x 10

Rack felt good today. 1 minute intervals give a false sense of security.

🔵 Glove swing snatch 12kg 6'(3')@ 12rpm

🟣🟣⚫⚫ Jerk 20kg/22kg 8*1'(1') 8/6rpm / last round 18rpm / switch every round

⚫ Pause snatch 26kg 4'(3')@ 2rpm

Snatch 24kg 10' / one switch / 120 reps

Hi again. Here’s a 2 minute pre exhaust set with the 18kg before my test set with the 16kg. Timing felt off with the drop, but lefty is coming along in her own way. The 16kg set went well! I got 153 reps in 8 minutes. 🖤

Much later start than normal for me, about 14 hours later than normal but I felt strong today!

I am already gearing up for the July marathon and pentathlon comp in australia then the worlds in Scotland in nov

The plan is to get both strong and fast in the event

I have been playing with one min swaps for the pentathlon events instead of 3pm sec to see how it feels and if it’s a viable strategy as I up the weight

It seems to be working on the combo of half snatch and one arm jerks on a 4 min on 2 min off principle for rounds

For the Friday I did this I hit 18 rpm on my half snatch at 20kg and then 20 plus for the one arm jerk

No real tricep fatigue or general fatigue to speak of which was nice as I did my cardio prior

Here is the second set of one arm jerks so close to 100 reps in 4 mins

The kbsport app is a life saver in counting and keeping me honest

This was a fun session! Lots of snatching and pressing.

Last training day of my stabilization block. This block was all about not putting pressure on my knee until we got the results back from the doctor. I had a lot of fun with the heavy pressing and snatching! I can’t wait to get back to jerks in a few weeks though!

My dumbass thought jerk pyramid was a ladder. Went up only once. Realized afterwards I was supposed to come down as well. 🫠

10,10,10,10,10,10,10,11,12,14 - 107 total

Easy week, easy set - First 10' in a while. A couple of years ago I put up my PB of 111reps on this lift. All out effort at the time, deload today.

Consistency works
