MAX V02 15:15 debrief.

Snatching brings the user a specified bushel of pain. The shredded hands, the brutalized hamstrings, and the deep, nearly spiritual soreness that comes from high rep snatching are details of training we may all spin tales about. Be it the coveted Master of Sports ranking in Soviet GS or the Hard Styler's delight in the SSST, we chose to walk the line knowing the tar will get beat out of us along the way. I have read that professional skateboarders also revel in the fruits of a day spent rolling through city streets, tearing up curbs and giant planters, searching for the sweetest grind, and the area best fit for tricking out, leading to sore calves, backs, ripped denim, braised skin, and lost ball caps. Surfers who spend entire nights waking periodically to check the online reports [to know where they may best ride in the wee hours] tell tales of deep muscle soreness attributed to dozens of sets. Out there in the sea digging for the finest waves, in the roughest spots the coast has to offer that morning. Screaming quads, aching shoulder girdles from repeated paddle outs, and the exhausted internal battery that fuels the passion for what they do are markers of a young grom's efforts. Tribal, territorial, thorough. As New School Giriveks we are also tribal, clans banded together under the leadership of a visionary; territorial, marking our neighborhoods' best outdoor kettlebelling corners with videos posted on the web and bloggings detailing the daily due; thorough as well-we need the details on how to best snatch and best press the most and the heaviest. Achieving the most by focusing on the fewest aspects. Skaters patrol the city, surfers cruise coastlines, so naturally a Hard Stylers' home is the field, the park, rooftops. How many times have you set out for an outdoor session and torn up your callouses and posterior muscles with high rep snatches? If you are anything like me, those days are endless in number and forever in the annals.

Recently the 15:15 protocol has occupied my training schedule. Two days a week I pull up to the window on the third floor of the Philadelphia Sports Club and snatch the 16kg until the requisite sets are complete. This is what has happened in the 3 weeks since my last update.
