soft landing

May,31st.

Picture of OL dumbbell used for power snatching. Its nice to drop it on the wood chips instead of trying to decelerate and worrying about hitting the floor too hard.

WO du jour:

warm up with "Griptasic" (added some more exercises) so it will last 15 min.

barbell clean and press for singles: 15 sets no record

DB power snatch: for singles: 30# to 90# ( missed the 90# but got the 85#)

KB get up sit up: 5 sets of 10 with 2 kettlebells.

Good strength session for speed and power. I love those Power snatches with the dumbell for a change out from the Kettlebells. Is there a cross over? only when its overhead for the most part. My goal is a 100 lbs this year, since I have done 90 in the past. I plan to work in more heavy power cleans and rack presses just like the old days at the York Gym in PA. I old enough to remember watching the Olympic team practice pressing at the York gym.....when the press was one of the three lifts.

I have a area now outside my gym to drop heavy weights and Kettlebells without fear of dropping them on the hard floor. All you have to do is put down a heavy layer of wood chips and when you are done, rake smooth again. Now juggling kettlebells are a lot more fun and productive.

Have a nice suffering and remember the mission is sacred.
