New Goals

Now that I have finished my first attempt at the SSST, just missing my goal of 200 reps, I will now turn my attention to training for the September RKC Cert.  I feel pretty confidant that I can hit my snatch numbers, but I am going to start specifically training for the snatch test.  My current weight ranges between 202-205 lbs putting me in the 74 rep range (37L/37R)  for the snatch test.  Over the next 8 weeks, I will attempt a modified program suggested by Aaron Friday via Faizal Enu focusing on long sets alternating with short explosive sets using hang snatches and dead snatches.  I will aim for a goal of 45 - 50L/45-50R.  I will map out my plan more specifically over the next few days.  Started today:

24kg Snatch 25L/25R

24kg Hang Snatch 5L/5R x 3 sets

24kg Dead Snatch 5L/5R x 3 sets

24kg Snatch 25L/25R

24kg 2 Handed Swing x 20 reps, 1 handed swing 10R/10L, 2 handed swing x 20 reps.  Repeated this 2 times.
