Kettlebell Conditioning

After a superb workout yesterday I decided on more conditioning work today split into 2 sessions:-

Session 1
Double Kettlebell Jerks
(16kg * 2) 10 reps for 10 sets, every minute on the minute

Average completion time was 30 seconds with 30 seconds rest.
Was tough by the end - HR up to 165

Single Arm Kettlebell Snatch -16kg
60 seconds each arm (18 reps each arm)
Rest 90 seconds
90 seconds each arm (25 reps each arm)
Rest 2 mins
2 mins each arm (32 reps each arm)

This was tough, had a very hard job to hold onto the bell by the end, weight no issue, just grip.

Bulgarian Bag 10 minute BLAST
12kg Bag alternating between Spins and Power Snatches

12 spin each way, rest 20 - 30 seconds
12 Power snatches, rest 20 - 30 seconds
Keep going for 10 mins or 100kcal burnt off on the HR monitor

Session 2
2*32kg Kettlebell Farmers Walk
9kg Slam Ball

Walk the kettlebells 20M out and 20M back, slam the ball 10 times - full extension over head to full flexion through the core, repeat 4 times no rest.

Rest 3 mins

Repeat a further 2 times.

Session 2 was an absolute killer, grip was struggling after the snatching and bag work earlier and the slams are just plain horrible when done with maximum power and fast pace.

Finished off with 30 min sports massage and contrast shower.
