Snatch from the hang: 5 sets of 10 with 40kg, 1 min rest inbetween.. Got me breathing hard..
Clean and push press: 3 sets of 5 with 65kg
Push press: 2 sets of 8 with 60kg
Chins and dips: 50+50 for a total amount of reps. Divided it in 10 sets of 5 for both exercises
Abs: Then played around with some ab exercises, like leg raises with knees to elbows, windshield wipers or whatchamacallit, straight legs, L pull ups etc.. Also showed a kid how to do windmills, and did a single with 40kg.
The snatches were very strenuous, and already in the first set of the clean and push presses, I got weary and decided to back off a bit. The chins and dips is nice for a change, gonna be a stable one in my program. It took me around 15 minutes with too much yakking inbetween. Gonna go for time or up the reps.. Don't know yet.
The kid I'm helping out is doing a great job. He started out at the age of 14 I think, and I had him starting with 20 rep squats, light ones. Started with 30k. Told him to do 3 steps forward, and 2 back, increasing with 2,5kg. He is taking this very seriously, and one year later his doing 2-3 sets of 20's with 85kg. Not bad at all for a youngster.
Haven't set my eyes on any goals yet, I am just enjoying training right now, with no stress of any competition or whatever. Normally I would be doing deadlifts, but I think doing that once a week, is too much of a good thing for me. Also the upcoming 4 nightshifts in a row, won't be a lot of fun walking around like a gimp. So next week it's on again, for the deadlifts and I will go for 180kg for 10.
Here's an old video of me, to keep this blog a little more visual.
Have a nice weekend,
