I just read about Tracy Riefkind's superhuman feat (1000 swings w/24kg in 50 min) and Iron Tamer David Whitley's mucho macho efforts (1000 swings w/32kg in 50 min) 1000 reps each. Jeebus Freakin' Crisco! There are androids among us. Looking at my workout tonight, I feel very, very ordinary and quite human after all:
VO2 Max snatches, 15:15 style with the 24kg:
10 sets of 6 L, R
5 min rest
10 sets of 6 L, R
5 min rest
6 sets of 6, L, R
26 total sets, 156 reps = 8,268 lbs.
Just a warm-up for an android

Weird Shit happens...to me (sometimes)
Well, I'm back again. This time it was my neck...it seized up on me 2 weeks ago out of nowhere (just kind of crept up on me til I could barely function one day) and was rather agonizing (although I'll take it in a heartbeat over the low-back incident at Christmas!!) I could barely move my head for several days and Advil was my friend (I haven't taken any pain meds in over 10 years!) because I couldn't sleep or work without it.
Working out was out of the question... the weird thing was - I don't really know what caused it aside from supernatural (spiritual) forces - no I'm not kidding, I said weird shit happens to me sometimes...I got adjusted by my chiropractor and got cranial work and they barely dented it...saw my psychic friend and viola! It really started to get better right on the spot. Too bad for you nonbelievers, it's what helped.
Mike Nelson, I think I need to see you - there's an upper rib cage issue here (I think) I'll be mighty curious to see what you see in me - apparently I'm too close to me to figure it out alone and my bestest healer buddies don't have much of a clue either.
So I kinda am starting over with my 24kg snatch progression. Tonight I'm back to VO2 Max style snatches, 15:15 style;
10 sets of 6 L,R
5 minutes rest
10 sets of 6 L,R again
For me breaking up the workout like this made it doable for now - I may do that to build volume and then condense the rest times as my conditioning improves. I like using the GYMBOSS to keep the pace for me, otherwise I get too random with my rest periods.
