I decided to skip my deload workout tonight and do kettlebell snatches (instead of get ups) for 5 minutes. I’ve got some good soreness in the glutes, and some back fatigue going from the swings yesterday. Also a bit fatigued from doing a ton of random snatches yesterday just because the bell was there. Moving on, I warmed up, then set the timer for 5 minutes and went at it. When the alarm sounded I had 110 reps under my belt. I was fairly gassed and had the start of that metallic/blood taste coming into my mouth, but I could have pushed on if I really wanted to…I surely did not want to today, though! I am very pleased with this as I am only 90 reps shy of the 10 minute ‘elite’ SSST goal and this is with only 5 kettlebell sessions completed - plus I am in full-body shutdown deload mode. I also took 3 20-second rests at 50, 70, 90 reps, so I have lots of room for improvement as well!
