Steve Maxwells 22 min endurance workout

Wasn't sure I would be able to workout today my back and neck got twisted into unthinkable positions at Jiu Jitsu last night, I was really sore this morning.  After joint mobility work I felt fine and made it through, I thought the snatches were particularly hard today, don't know why I usually love snatches.

My Friday Workout

Taking Ken Blackburns advice on training grip strength, why wouldn't I.   Although I added the extra 2min set with 20kg just to see if I can.  After doing 20kg snatches the 16kg felt a lot lighter, I hope this will be the same with the OAJLC  but I doubt it.

Warm-Up and Joint Mobility x 10min

20kg TGU 5L / 5R
Rest 2min

OAJLC
20kg x 1min per hand-8L / 8R
Rest 2min
16kg x 2min per hand ( Lost count) around 14 each hand
Rest 2min
12kg x 4min per hand 40L / 40R

BB Deadlift
95lbs x 10
115lbs x 5-5-5-5-5

The 20kg TGUs were not as hard as I thought they would be. Don't get me wrong they are tuff but I was able to do them with out much difficulty.   Starting with 20kg for OAJLC did not make the 16kg seem lighter like I hoped, my arms were smoked even the 12kg felt heavy today.  What is it about those clean and jerks that is so hard, my hands felt pretty numb for some time after the workout.
