8/25-8/26

24kg swings
24kg snatches (90 total)
16kg sots press 5L/5R for a couple sets
18lb pullups
20kg presses
24kg presses on right
Tennis
16kg halo

During last night's training, an elderly couple walked up, interested in the bells. The gentleman gestured to ask, "may I?", walked over to the 16kg, and busted out a pressed-snatch and four MPs. I smiled and said, "you've done this before?" In a strong accent, he responded with "I am Russian."

As impressed as I am w. the elderly man, I'm even more impressed w. your training - 90 snatches w. the 1.5 pood is some strong work!

Even to me, doing 5 reps of 16kg sots press is quite a challenge.

This I'm impressed more than anything else.

Nikki Shlosser said...

Boris, Taikei, thanks for the kind words!

The sots presses were hard.... heels wanted to come up on the 5th rep, both sides. Gotta keep working on it!

But the encounter with the old Russian man was really, very cool. :) If I had it on video, that little clip would be my video of the month. ;D
