Went down to the garage to train on my lunch hour today, as I normally do. Today, it felt especially cold. I couldn't see my breath yet, but I don't think the temp was too far away. Kettlebell handle felt very cold during my snatches. I think I need to invent a kettlebell warmer. Or maybe just sit them on top of a stove before training.
On the docket was a planned 6 minute jerk set and an 8 minute snatch set. For some reason, thinking about 8 minutes of snatches still makes me a bit queasy. Not sure why...
Jerk: 2 x 20kg - 6 minutes @ 8 rpm
Snatch: 20kg - 8 minutes @ 12 rpm
Treadmill: 20 minutes walking
Jerks felt good. Snatches were ok, although my hands were fatiguing toward the end of each's turn. Hands are holding up very well. I started to a light run on the treadmill but my windpipe felt a bit raw, so I slowed it down. Overall, feeling pretty good today.

Don't you worry...most snatch sets longer than 1 minute make me feel ill. Good work today. I am looking forward to your report on the Kanygin workshop.
Thanks, man. I'm looking forward to it as well! Plan to train through Thursday, take Friday off and then suffer through the weekend with him. =)
Gotta love it!
