Well, I started the ch...<b>Jan 3, 2010 - Day 1 Results</b><br />Well, I started the challenge today, and I did pretty well. I did a light warm-up on the Airdyne (6 minutes). I forgot about the blisters/friction of high rep training. I started getting blisters during the snatch section. <br /><br />Swings: I used the 16kg for swings, and primarily did 2H swings. I knocked out my 200 swings in about 8:30, which included periods of rest. I stopped after 50, 40, 60, 30, 20 reps to write down my time & progress. This was my strategy to help me keep track of my count. I was very proud of my time. My goal will be to do my swings with the 24kg by week 4. <br /><br />My strategy by week for swings is as follows: <br />Week 1: 16kg <br />Week 2: Alternate between 16kg & 20kg <br />Week 3: 20kg <br />Week 4: Alternate between 20kg & 24kg <br /><br />Snatches: I did snatches with 12kg since it's been a while for me. The weight itself was easy. The friction on my hands was not. I basically could only do 5/side and then had to stop to rest my hands. After the first 2 rounds, my hands were shot. I kept going, but had to stop with 7 minutes left on the clock and 45 snatches short of my 100-rep goal. I have some nice red blisters on my hands now...and boy do they hurt! I am going to try the sock method tomorrow morning to see if that helps at all... <br /><br />My strategy for snatches is as follows: <br />Week 1: 12kg every day <br />Week 2: Alternate between 12kg & 16kg <br />Week 3: 16 kg for 3 days, 12kg for 2 days, 16kg for 2 days <br />Week 4: 16kg <br /><br />Bring on the new day!Fitgirl-ATXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798497546049603540noreply@blogger.com
