Pistol & Snatch

The days are creeping closer to the Beast challenge, time for me to be a beast and no better time or feeling ;-)

Pistol
16/1/1
20/1/1
24/1/1
28/1/1
32/1/1
40/1/1
48/1/1x3
28/1/1x5 (30 seconds between sets)...sure feels easier after the Beast :-)

No matter how I slice, characterize, explain, and so on this is one son of gun of a move. Just holding that 48kg bell is a workout.

Snatch week 2
16/5/5x1
24/5/5x1
32/3/3x2
40/3/3x4

Started out a bit weak in the warm-up but turned on the mind focus, directed my intentions, visualized and busted through. This is a serious ball of iron to be throwing around especially at my weight. Feels good and the grip strength was much better today.

Good week of training. I have 3 days of yoga and will do some today as well giving me 4 out 5 and 6 out of 7.

The training looks good! Come Feb there should be a new name on the Beast Tamer list.
