Viking Conditioning - MV02 - 40 Sets of 8...

After getting my copy of Viking Warrior Conditioning: The Scientific Approach to Forging a Heart of Elastic Steel: An Application of The Theory Behind Proper VO2max Training - (http://www.dragondoor.com/b39.html?affid={subid}) - I have refocused on MV02 training.

I was doing it regularly from October through February and even completed 80 sets of 8 (640 reps) in 39:45 on my 40th birthday - February 3rd but things have been crazy since then. I started a new job at the beginning of March and have just started to settle into a groove. So now I can refocus on getting back to 80 sets while also preparing for the RKC in April.

It is amazing how hard the 40 sets seemed today when I completed the 80 sets 6 weeks ago with relative ease. I expect to regain my conditioning soon as I mix in this type of training a few times a week.

I did timed snatches with the 16kg bell today. I did sets of 8 with each arm with approximately 15 second rest between hand switch. I did 40 sets of 8 in 19 minutes and 45 seconds.

Snatch - 16kg bell - 40 sets of 8 - 320 rep
