You very obviously do not get it. Rotator cuff? Please. Honestly dude/chicky, what understanding of the kettlebell snatch and/or weightlifting do you have.
Scott: You, obviously, do not get it. Check out Kenneth Jay's Max V02 protocol to understand the theory.
Sandy:
best of luck next week.
Any other detractors from a proven method of hybrid aerobic conditioning? I will say this- having enough people looking at this blog to actually have detractors means that I am doing something right. Even if it means confusing the uninformed.
Did you use any protection (sock sleeves ... )? How did your hands hold up? Wednesdays from now on are going to be my VO2 max days. I will start off with 40 sets (20 minutes) and add 8 sets per week till I get to 80 total. I feel this is totally doable.
Thank you for letting me state my intentions on your blog, since I don't know if anyone reads mine, and I have an unfinished post that needs to be dealt with before I can make any grandiose commitment to my rotator cuff.
To touch on the benefits of high repetition snatches as opposed to other forms of cardio --
Here's an excerpt from Kenneth Jay's article, "How to Reclaim Mankind's Glory Days of Superlative Strength, Endurance and Power":
"The Kettlebell Snatch delivers results every bit as good as conventional types of exercise if done correctly. Furthermore, a major difference exists. Because of the ballistic nature of the kettlebell snatch and the use of the Valsalva pressurization technique during each repetition, not only will you stimulate an expansion of the heart wall (called eccentric hypertrophy)—and thereby and increase in maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max)—but you will also stimulate an increase in the strength of the heart wall (concentric hypertrophy), along with increases in blood pressure sensitivity and arterial compliance. These benefits aren’t observed to the same extent doing other types of cardiovascular activities."
