Marianne,
This was brutal! You were right about the celebrations after each couplet, esp the third one with the side to side step ups– eeeeeeek! I really liked the pyramid option in between helped break things up a bit. Great workout, I passed this along to my brother, lets see if he can beat my scores 😉
take care,
Samantha

I was reviewing this workout again today since I wanted to give it a shot. You mentioned in the routine description….

“I started with roundabout swing, but my left hand calluses were very sore, so I switched to two-handed swings.”

Made me think and look back in some of your other posts, why don’t you use hand chalk when lifting? It can help reduce the rawness created by the rubbing friction. Personally, I’m going to start using it as we enter the summer months. The heat and sweat make snatches dangerous 🙂

In reply to Krystle. I almost always train fasted, and I never take BCAAs. But that's not to say you shouldn't, I just prefer to let my body do its thing :)

In reply to Marianne. I use the LG approach too. Where does your workout fall into your routine, do you train fasted? If so do you take BCAAs?

In reply to Chaz Anderson. Have you heard of LeanGains? This is the "style" I do. Fasting for 16 hours in ever 24, then eating between the hours of about 2 or 3pm and 9 or 10pm.

In reply to tempest sharp. Having to regress is not an epic fail, so try not to be too hard on yourself! There are many times I have to regress an exercise. The main thing is that you don't give up :)
