20150611 Scales of GS torture

/ KB sport, Workouts/ 0 comments

Similar to the Hamstrung/DeepBoxSquatJumps session, but this time, we just use the actual GS move, instead of the supportive drill version. To add to the grip, we’ll use Long Cycle2 instead of Jerk2. Impetus file is the same as the Hamstrung/Deep Box Squat Jumps version (but you obviously do Snatch/LongCycle2) HR profile would be like this… [google-drive-embed url=”https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByFs7LeBdaCHbzFWYWNlaFh2ZDA&export=download” title=”20150611-ScalesOfGS.jpg” icon=”https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_11_image_list.png” width=”95%” extra=”image” style=”embed”]

20150611 Scales Of Torture

/ Workouts/ 0 comments

An incredibly simple workout using KB sport supportive drills for Jerk/Snatch 1) We call them “hamstrung” – much like a straight leg or Romanian deadlift. A medium speed descent, with a high speed acceleration in the upward pull. This mimics the load on the hamstrings in Snatches. 2) Deep Box Squat jumps. Start at the very very bottom on a squat while standing on a pair of plyo-boxes, while holding a KB with both hands. From the start position, launch up and jump, landing straight back down into the bottom position The sequence is like this Hamstrung 45s[++15s]…Deep Box

5 Rounds of legwork to raise heart rate, followed by GS drills to keep it up there Times increment by a few seconds each round 25[++1s] Crouch Jumps 50[++5s] Cleans 30[++2s] Rachinsky Jumps 60[++10s] Long Cycle 30[++3s] Leap Frog 30[++5s] Bumps 45[++4s] Frog Squat 70[++8s] Jerks 45[++5s] Pulsed Squat in threes 40[++5s] Swings 60[++5s] Rest Impetus file is here HR profile…(This profile shows a lower than expected profile since it excludes much of the legwork due to injury. On some sets snatches were substituted for legs to keep HR elevated) [google-drive-embed url=”https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByFs7LeBdaCHRHA5eE1zSVRLSTA&export=download” title=”20150528-GS-drills(with legs+cardio).jpg” icon=”https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_11_image_list.png” width=”95%” extra=”image” style=”embed”]

20150527 Long Cycle metronome

/ KB sport, Workouts/ 0 comments

Escalation work for HR. Long Cycle2 reps performed on a metronome for 10 mins to mimic a GS set. 15s 2x18kg (40 reps) 14s 2x20kg (43 reps) 13s 2x22kg (47 reps) Certainly not big reps, but pretty challenging (for me anyway) Impetus files is here Typical HR profile looks something like this (initial spike is HRM strap shift and can be ignored. Last few second spike is a couple of extra/sprint finish reps) [google-drive-embed url=”https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByFs7LeBdaCHZjRvWEZ5OXdOUzA&export=download” title=”20150527-LC2-rpm.jpg” icon=”https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_11_image_list.png” width=”800″ extra=”image” style=”embed”]
