Ok, so for now this is sort of on hold. After the TSC I'm going to revive it. The deal is that right now I'm mostly just doing TSC events and pre-testing. I'm going to work on putting something together to thoroughly explain the hook grip descent for the snatches and alternate methods of training for it. I've noticed that even when I show this to people in person they're scratching their heads, so a thorough video and article explanation is warranted. I'll still be posting here, but it'll be a little more random.

Today I stuck to my template of swings and snatches. Rotated from 30x 24kilo two handed swings to 10x24 kilo snatches each side to 20x32 kilo two handed swings to 3x32 kilo snatches each side. Just worked off of that for about 40 minutes with some hanging V leg raises included. I would have greater detail, but I forgot my notebook at Equinox.
Still on the Warrior Diet and going strong. I feel awesome.
Greased the groove with weighted pull ups at Girya, just hooking my foot in a 12 or 16 kilo and knocking out a few pull ups between clients. Tomorrow I will pull a max deadlift and continue my pull up regimen.

Man I suck at this workout log thing.
Ok. Today I did a boatload of swings and 20, and 24 kilo snatches. Really working on snatching the 24 whilst saving my hands. Day of the TSC I don't care if I rip all my fingers off, but up until then I want to keep them intact. Finished up with some squats. I'm gradually working squats, deads, and an overhead press (usually barbell jerks) back into my routine. Up until the TSC I'm going to focus more narrowly on the snatches and pull ups. Pull ups look good right now. I'm consistently around 15, but I haven't really maxed them out yet. Partially because my left elbow has fired back up. I'm finding bodyweight pull ups make it hurt, but if I strap on a kettlebell and do weighted pulls, no pain.
Things look good. Weight is dropping. It was going up, but now that I'm on the warrior diet it's heading south. Seems to be all body fat though, so I'm not concerned. Energy level is way higher, and my endurance seems to be better. I'll keep updated on that.
Right now this is where I stand (I.E. what I know I can do if keeping my hands in shape isn't an issue)
Pull Ups: 16
Deadlift: 405 lbs.
24 kilo snatches in 5 minutes: 80
Goal by TSC-
Pull Ups: 20
Deadlift: 425 lbs.
24 kilos snatches in 5 minutes: 100
It's doable.

I'm still lame at this. I kind of did a lot of stuff today. :)
Right now I have been moving my focus toward heavy quick lifts and some heavy grinds. I was goign to drop my weight for the TSC, but now that I'm going to start bending steel after the TSC I've re=thought that as I don't want to then have to turn around and put 25 pounds on. Right now I'm walking around at a comfortable 170 lbs. (Proper weigh in with no clothes) and think I'll probably end up around 180 as I move to feats of strength to include bending. Then in June I probably will cut down a bit for the RKC as I re-gear toward enduarnce. Part of the reason My training plan (or lack thereof) is so incoherent is I've just been slammed lately and am still trying to level out. I'll work it out this week, but tuesdays and thursdays will look much like what I did today. Went through single sets of heavy two handed Jerks, Snatches, Long Cycle, Snatch and Press. Then moved to some Squats which I haven't done in a while. Then on thursday I'm going to switch out the squats for deadlifts, and keep the rest the same. We'll see. I'm pretty good at 'feeling' when my body flips that switch, but I do need to get a coherent training cycle going. I will get this done in the next week or two. For the moment I'm consistently getting stronger and adding muscle, so I can't complain too much.

Last week I did a new core exercise that took me out for a few days. Hanging V's with two 4 kilo kettlebells hooked onto my feet. May not sound like a lot, but it felt like a lot.
Today I was hampered by a funky schedule, but got to know the clubbells.
Basically just did a boatload of 40 kilo (each hand) farmer's walks and Armpit casts with the clubbells.
I'll get into more detail with the next round.
