Variety WEEK

Martin it has been about 6 weeks since I did the ETK ROP with the 16/24kg. I did have close to a week where I wasn't training while I was ill, but no back off really factored in. I guess I was hoping to nail 5 rungs and 5 ladders the other night and then press the 32 5 times so I would drop the volume WAY down and start over - Yeah Right!!! Haha

I have thought about it today and decided that I am going to take your advice. I'll take a break and start back where I left off next Monday. In the interum though I going to have a week where I can let my mind run wild. At least 3 sessions where I'll do kinda crossfit workouts, but all to a fairly easy pace/intensity. Sledgehammer work, carries, sandbags, bodyweight stuff performed in little circuits. Any KB work I reckon I'll just do with the 16. Relax into stretch, super joints stuff too - and a good old re-read or two of Pavel's books.

Tonight though I'm going to simply go for a walk - I do a lot of walking that I don't really mention or count as training but really it's great for you. There's a girl I meet regularly on my walks who has lost 140lbs in just over a year from keeping her diet in check and walking regularly.

There is a post on DD today from a guy who has been following Kenneth Jays' V02 Max snatch routine. He did 450 reps in just under 23 minutes and at the 20 min mark had completed 407 - 2 SSST tests back to back!!! Incredible amount of work - I really need to have a look at that and see if I would be able to incorporate it into my ETK work.
