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 80 sets of 8 in 39 minutes and 45 seconds.
Snatch - 16kg bell - 40 sets of 8 - 320 reps
I kept going and finished with:
two-handed swings with the 24kg bell. I did 10 sets of 10 in 4 minutes and 45 seconds. I did sets of 10 with approximately 15 second rest between round.
Swings - 24kg bell - 10 sets of 10 - 100 reps
My Maximum Heart Rate @ almost 41 years old: 179
Avg Heart rate: 149 or 83% of my max
Highest Heart Rate Reached: 182 or 102% of max
My heart rate was in the 170s the last 15 sets of snatches but dropped into the high 150s when I switched to swings. You can really see why Kenneth Jay says the snatch is THE kettlebell exercise to maximize V02. I plan on wearing my heart rate monitor more as I train and am looking forward to seeing the numbers from a training session of 80x8.
My workout log for the last 17 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.
