Back from Vacation....sort of a vacation...

Is it really a vacation if you also do work? Disneyland was a blast! Soaring over California and the California Screamin' excellent stuff for the grown-up rides, Monsters Inc. and the Toy Story Ride are great new kids' rides. (and of course, Small World doesn't get old, even after 5 times when your 17 month old loves it!)

Anyways, I used my TNT cables for 10x10 clean and presses, and that was it. The heat and all day (some of most nights) getting around did me in. It bummed me out, but then I decided to just "flow with the go."

Coming back home, I hit it with a Max V02 vengeance. I did the Max V02 test from the original Kenneth Jay post (Thanks for posting it Rif!). I did 83 snatches in the first set-30 in the right hand for the allout 6th minute. 81 snatches in the second set, 28 on the left hand for the 6th minute. 164 snatches with the 16kg total.

Then after a good breather, I tested my submax snatches with the 24. I hit 30L/30R. If I stay under 198 (which is where I am at right now) My snatch test will be no sweat. Actually, I am not sweating it now, just want to do it! I loved being at the RKC the first time out! No corkscrew style, just hard style all the way on that last 60 snatches. I really felt the floor under my feet, as I rooted in and found just the right snap in the hips. No torn hands, either! WooHoo!

Total snatches- 224 Total weight- 8,940.8

Tues:

SWING DAY!
If there is ever a female Terminator, it is Rif's wife, Tracy. I had a 30 minute swing day just to see what it felt like to do a T-Rif kind of workout. I simply did 10 swings on the top of the minute, every minute for 30. (Except for the 40kg- I only did 6) Here's the breakdown:

16kg: 10-10-10 (1056 lbs)
20kg: 10-10-10 (1320lbs)
24kg:10-10-10 (1584lbs)
32kg: 10-10-10-10 (2816 lbs)
40kg: 6-6-6-6-6 (2640)
24kg: (these felt like nothing after the 40kg!) 10-10-20-10-10-10-10-10-10 (5280 lbs)
20kg: 10-10-10-10 (1760 lbs)
Total time: 30 mins. Total swings: 300 Total weight: 16,456.

It is amazing that Tracy did 800 swings with the 16kg in 30 mins. Or should I say T-Rif 1000?

Wed.

Max V02 with the 16kg. 50 sets/25 minutes/7 reps per arm/ total: 350 reps 12, 320 lbs. Felt good, but was glad to be done. Next time, the 60 is in sight.

Now I have to get back to work. The Master Instructor's week is coming up very soon. So if I don't post again for a couple of weeks, that is why.
