50,000 Plus Snatches!
I hit the 80 sets of 8 for the sixth time today in the 15:15 protocol. This put me over 50,000 total. Viking Warrior Conditioning has totally changed my strength endurance and pushed me to levels I thought I could never reach. Over the last year I hit 80x8 six times, 85x8 once and 100x8 once.
My training looked like this:
I did timed snatches with the 16kg bell today. I did sets of 8 with each arm with approximately 15 second rest between hand switch. I did 80 sets of 8 in 39 minutes and 45 seconds.
Snatch - 16kg bell - 80 sets of 8 - 640 reps
Snatch total - 49,710 + 640 = 50,350!
I still felt strong after so I did some other training to finish:
Gama Cast - 45lb clubbell - 30 reps
Smith Machine Incline Press - 185lbs - 30 reps
Spideman Plank - 3 reps
