Viking Kettlebell Conditioning 36:36 Protocol Kettlebell Workout

I decided to make a jump the the 36:36 Protocol (36 seconds of snatches followed by a 36 second rest). I completed the 80 work sets of the 15:15 protocol with my 35 pound KB earlier in the week. The goal was 35 working sets.

I made it to 16 working sets before I couldn't keep my 17 snatches in 36 seconds pace.

My heart rate was through the roof, my forearms were engorged, and on the verge of exploding with blood. 

My entire upper body was tingling. I LOVE this workout! A new challenge! I haven't done allot of snatches and this workout is nothing but snatches.

One thing that made a HUGE difference today was concentrating on the overspeed eccentrics (pulling the KB down faster than gravity does). It brought my KB Snatch form and explosiveness to an entirely new level. 

I am stoked and challenged! My goal is 35 work sets of 17 snatches with my 35 pound KB. 

Its going to be tough and I am going to love every minute! ;-)

Life is too short to be weak...
