24kg Snatch
8 reps per set
:15 work / :15 rest
40 sets
320 reps total in 19:45
I don’t know that I can go any faster on this and stay clean.
8 reps per set is 32 per minute, that is fast. I was COOKED at the end of 40 sets, and the last 4 took all i had in me mentally to get today. Of course it is 102 degrees F and about 60% humidity here, and that takes a toll.
Working up to 50 sets? I dunno….that is pretty daunting to me this minute. I need to eat.

I just wonder how you got the idea of doing 40 sets !!
32 reps per min with 24kg is also my fastest but I don’t think I can constantly do this.

david,
well done man. I think that 8 reps IS the fastest you can do this and stay clean,and that aint easy.I am fine up to 40 sets and then the next ten ARE KILLER. I wave the sets from 40-50 as well as the reps from 7-8.
I know it will kill you but you might use the 20kg for some days.
takei, the 40-50 sets is from Kenneth jays protocol for raising max o2 uptake.

Nice work Dave, 40 sets in 102 degrees, eh? My parents just came back from a trip to Falls Creek Falls State Park, TN and they said it very hot all week.

Yeah!!! great work… I agree with Rif that you might wanna switch to the 20kg once in a while to get more speed… It should be possible for you to reach more than 32reps/min. with the 24kg while staying clean… Personally I have gone 38 reps (and Tommy has gone 36 I believe) for 1 all out minute which should 9-10 reps per 15sec in the VO2 protocol…

KJ-I don’t have a 20kg. I ewasn’t clear, I can go faster, but like what you describe, it is short lived. To go the entire distance at 10reps/15 sec w/24 is a little beyond me right now.
