First 10 Minute Jerk Session With 24kg

Felt energized today.  Last couple of workouts were short and a bit on the light side.  I think I needed some rest to let my body recover from my rapid push in training for the biathlon.  Today, I decided to attempt my first 10 minute set of jerks with the 24s.  These bells are feeling lighter every time.  I feel like I am launching off of my hips every rep and the bells are starting to fly out of my hands in the overhead lockout like they did when I was learning with the 12kg and 16kg bells.

Jerk(16kg) 20 reps

Jerk(20kg) 10 reps

Jerk(24kg) 6 rpm x 10 minutes

Swing(32kg) 30/30 x 2 sets

Bodyweight pullups 5 x 3 sets

The last 2 minutes were tough.  I suffered the most in my hands and wrists which were pretty fatigued, however, I was able to hang on to the finish.  My shoulders and legs were still feeling good and I didn't shift into panic breathing at the end either!  I find as I get later into my long sets that I begin to loose my grip in the corner of the handle and my wrists also begin to hyperextend.  I think this hyper-extension of the wrists is ultimately what is causing the fatigue in my wrists/hands.  I am not sure how to correct this issue.

Tomorrow, if I am still feeling good, I plan to attempt my first 10 minute set of snatches with the 24kg at 16 rpm.  If I am able to hit this, then I will drop back down and start working my jerks at 8 rpm beginning at 5 minutes and snatching at 18 rpm beginning at 6 minutes with the goal of working my way back up to 10 minute sets of both the jerk and snatch by the Arnold Classic.
