Ten Ton chase after Rif

I freely admit I am copying Sr. RKC Mark Reifkind's high volume as well as Kenneth Jay's Max V02 training. If one must copy, copy from the best. After I saw Rif's recent post, I was stoked for him. As i started training, I stopped my one arm swings at 18,480 lbs. I was pretty smoked. But after a couple minutes rest, I thought, at least get the weight poundages moved, so I did a snatch hold with the 20 kg for 10 secs, then 5L/5R strict military presses for 5 sets with a min. rest in between. Here was the breakdown.

1 arm swings 16kg.

10/10 x 10= 200 reps x 35.2 lbs = 7,040 lbs (30 seconds rest on most of the sets save for the last few, i had 40 seconds rest)

1 arm swings 20 kg

10/10 x 13= 260 reps x 44 lbs = 11,440

18,480 lbs.
2.5 mins rest
Snatch hold + Mil Press 20 kg
5/5 x 5 = 50 reps x 44 lbs = 2,200

Total weight= 20,680. PR of weight moved for the day. Silent victory. :)

Now back to MIDP work.
