Tuesday 17.03.09 ROP Hard Day

1. Z-Health Neural Warm up

2. TGU's 5 minutes 24Kg

For the ladders I currently have 30 seconds rest between rungs and 2 minutes between each ladder:

3. Military Press, 24Kg, 5 ladders, 4 rungs per ladder

4. Pullups, 5Kg additional, 5 ladders, 4 rungs per ladder


5. Swings, 24Kg, 20 reps per minute every minute, 10 minutes

6. Ab wheel rollouts, on knees, 2 X 5

Training notes:

After recent discussions on the Dragon Door Forums I believe that a good swing benchmark would be to achieve 1000 swings in 40 minutes with a given weight which breaks down to 25 swings per minute. It is something that I might well look at doing in the future.

Other discussions have shown that it can be a good idea to shoot for 50 sets in Kenneth Jay's VO2 protocol (15:15) starting at 6/6 repetitions with the given weight.

Training notes:

I will shortly do swings every session with the 48Kg Kettlebell as I want to maximise my hip power for snatches. I will vary the intensity on my heart and lungs with the reps I do each minute or varying the time of each working set.
