Back to where I was in August
Last August I attended the Kenneth Jay Viking Warrior Conditioning workshop to learn VO2 max training with kettlebell snatches. I started out being able to do 25 minutes of work, and worked my way up to the maximum of 40. I then had begun experimenting with different cadences and weights. The nerve pinch happened in November, and my kb snatching days were done for the time being.
A couple of weeks ago, I felt that my grip had recovered sufficiently that I would be able to resume. What was missing was my stamina! 30 sets (15 minutes) and I was toast. Today’s attempt went much better, thankyouverrymuch. Back to where I started in August:

I’m shooting for at least two VWC sessions each week, and build this back up to 80 sets. I’m also going to dig out my heart rate monitor, just because I like posting a graph or two to show you how damn hard I’m working!
