In some sick way, I love the VO2max protocol!

I love it! That's all I'll say. I love the burn in my lungs and the pain in my forearms. I love the metallic taste in the back of my throat that I get when I'm finished. I especially love the great workout I get in minimal time. I love the looks I get from people walking by the studio.

Still fighting a bit of a chest cold, but here's what I did:
16kg VO2Max Snatches
36:36, 17 Reps X 20 Sets
340 Total Snatches
No blisters, No gloves
I will only improve on this in the next few weeks.

Quality Time

This weekend, I was able to spend some quality time with my family hiking over some of the great trails that are in my town. One of the best things about Ringwood is that there are lots of outdoor activities to choose from to occupy your time. I hope my kids grow up to enjoy where they live as much as my wife and I do.

Run of Rotten Luck

Training has been pretty messed up for me the past few weeks. I went from a great week to getting some kind of stomach bug that made me feel nauseated 24/7 for about 2 weeks. I got over that and was about to celebrate with a session of V02Max Snatches, but I had to end the workout at 10 sets because of a blister. I felt it happen during the 10th set, but I was lucky it didn't tear. So I guess my luck wasn't too rotten. It's my own damn fault, though, I should have shaved my callouses down last week, but I didn't. Hopefully the blister fluid will be absorbed by Thursday, so I can resume my V02Max work. I really like the protocol in a sick way.
