new years and new revelations

seems my dead is killing my grip and snatch

after the deads this morning, the tension that has been absent in my hands and arms has returned, seems to be connected with the hang of the arms in the dead

so
rather than return to what was going to be a new years power to the people routine with the dead as a base
I am going Naked Warrior for 30 days, then a retest of the snatch, in between, I will be hitting the 5 minute snatch test with varying weights from 12 to 20 kg, all less than the bell that I will have to use to complete the RKC Snatch Test Requirements. The new testing requirements are an equal reps per kilo of body weight. I am currently riding at about 147 pounds, thus 67 kilos. My goal therefore has been 70 with the 24kg, that would be 7 snatches per arm on the minute for 5 minutes, or 15 hip extensions per minute. There are people smaller than I am that are hitting much higher numbers. Any way, that is the goal, 70 reps in 5 minutes (actually the goal is 100 in 5 minutes, but that is for another post).

So, push ups, one armed push ups, body-weight squats and pistols, and the snatch test every 4th day (that is 96 hours of rest between each snatch day)

As for Class

Swings, Get ups, push ups, front squats and more of the same
ad infinitum
till I see the things I need to see in my students

If I can look out and know, not think or hope, but know, that the cats in front of me have it on the ball ( or bell as it were )
