Training week 6/10/12

This past week was pretty good. It started off slow and then I picked it up on the second half. I don't know what happened but Monday I got tired very quickly. I figured out even though my cardio is good the conditioning in my legs isn't. I've been doing a good amount of sets that push me to my limit and the training has felt it. I am adapting to the training volume and pushing the limit further and further. Here is the training for the past week.

Glad the holiday weekend is over....Back to training!!

So after Memorial day weekend I came back to training.....it was a short week of work. But that break sure wiped me out. Too much sun, too much food. This all slowed my progression down on this week of training. I will re-focus myself and get back to where I was before the break. So I only trained 3 days this past week. Not great but I did something. Tuesday- Tested Jerk....worst set ever. I struggled to make it 6 mins. I hated every minute of it. Wednesday- re-tested Jerk and tested Snatch. Felt a little better but not my best. I did the same as i did in Jerk the day before and Did alright in Snatch. Here are my 2 sets. KB Jerk set
 KB snatch set

Friday
Interval Jerk set
2x20kg 2mins 12rpm
2x22kg 2mins 12rpm
2x24kg 2mins 12rpm

2x30kg 2mins 8rpm
2min rest between sets
