Tragedy strikes. Fucked up my wrist a bit yesterday doing BB cleans. I'll sacrifice a goat to Crom and pray it'll be functional by Sunday.

Now that you mention it. I lost some pretty big callouses on my right hand yesterday during a grip workout. Hope it heals fast.

I cannot fathom doing 500 snatches. I'm two days out from my 100 and I'm still experiencing wicked DOMS all through my traps and upper back.

Then again, I was never one to back down from a challenge. War crazy-gleam-in-my-eye!

Will you break your own legs if you don't pay up?

I'm trhinking I'd like to set a day aside and do this, but at the mo I'm trying to train fro getting a decent BB Snatch so I'm thinking this will be at least a few days off.

51:26

At around the 300th rep the callouses I lost on my right hand started bleeding. At that point I forgot about the time and just focused on finishing. I was aiming for around the 45 minute mark but whatever, I'm pretty please considering that most of the last 100 reps were done with my left hand.

Some things I noticed:

-blood makes dumbells really slippery. I was at the park and lost the bell a few times.
-I wasted a lot of time on the lowering part of the snatch. I was lowering it too slowly.
-as my arms and shoulders fatigued my form got better, I instinctively used more hip snap
-I used dimes to keep track of the reps, every 10 reps I'd throw a dime in my hat.
-Danzig = faster reps "Mother, tell your children not to look my way"
-I took my shirt off afterwards because it was sweaty and bloody and due to the massive pump I had going, 2 chicks watching me actually complemented me. My wife was pissed.
-I'm not gonna wash this shirt, it looks too cool with the blood all over it.

This will be the slowest time I'm sure but I'm pretty proud of myself to be honest.

I just got a memo from my rotator cuffs telling me to fuck off and die.
