Simple is as simple does...

on the 6-16 I rode my stationary bike for 35 min hitting a heart rate between 140-150 for most of the ride. 
Took Yesterday off.

Today:
Prep - foam roller, GFM, experimental
24 kg Get-up 1+1
this get-up included - arm bar, crooked arm bar, and bridges at both the elbow and hand

Double 24 kg Strength Aerobics x 20 min
Clean + MP + FS + Snatch and during the last 3 minutes I added a set of 5 swings to end of each set
max HR - 165
Avg. HR - 144
kept the recovery to 10 beat drops or less between sets

The strength aerobics protocol is an example of a single "workout" that can have nearly endless variation.  Simple is....

Jerks and Swings...

Today - 6/5/2015

Prep - foam roller and GFM

24 kg Get-up x 1+1 x 2

Alternating sets of
Double 24 kg Jerks x 10
One arm Swing 32 kg x 5+5
x 20 sets total (10 of each)

Took 40 minutes
Peak HR 161
Avg. HR 135
Two minute recovery 30+ beat drop in HR

There is a video of a recent GS athlete's performance of 101 Double 32 kg Jerks in 5 minutes - my sets of 10 with double 24s have a LONG way to go....

Couple of funny things from the interwebs:
Article out that recommended Swings over snatches because snatches bruise forearms - if KB snatches bruise your forearms you have a technique issue - period.

Tagged in a post that I don't know how to respond to.... we shall see....
