a) Freddie Roach on GSP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpkjn8Wufz8&feature=player_embedded
b) Machida vs. Jackson: Hard to see how the judges came to that decision!
c) Last night on the TUF finale event, Joe Rogan had a riff on how bad decsions are getting to start to thing that MMA is starting to get corrupt; he went on to say that it is because the Nevada Athletic Commission, which basically is boxing people, is putting clueless morons judging UFC fights. I was surprised at how candid his comments were.
d) Exciting finale to the TUF event. I really like that kid who won (name slips my mind at the moment) but he sure took too many strong hits in the first round. IMHO shots like those have a cumulative effect. He really needs to clean up his standing striking game.
a) A snatch is from hanging to shoulder or overhead?
b) Are you saying you have 15 seconds to do 7 reps and then 15 seconds to rest?
the snatch is executed as selfcritical described, a swing back from the 3 pt postition to full overhead lockout (bell and shoulder in same line)
most folks start at 6, some at 7, it depends on the cadence test
yep, you work on a 15:15 work rest ratio for as many rounds as you can manage with good form while maintaining the cadence
and as selfcritical stipulates, you accelerate the bell on the down swing (it weighs up to 4 times more as you pull it out of the hole because of this, overspeed eccentric)
as to how long it took to work up to this
I am an RKC, so I had a good deal of proficiency in the snatch before I started, but it took about 3 mos total to hit the first 80 sets at 6 per, about 3 wks later it was 80 at 7, then about 1 mos later 80 at 8, I then continued on the protocol as it is designed to go for 36 sets of 20 on the 36:36 work rest ratio
I have also done this with single and double 16kg push press for 6/7/8 reps per
it can be brutal, but gratifying
the conditioning you get for the grip, legs, arms, shoulders and explosive power in the legs and the core stabilization work are all big hits in my book
lots of bang for your buck
did it in the rain again this weekend, and that is a whole other animal

just finished 80 sets of vo2 snatches with a 16kg bell at 7 reps per set on the 15:15 protocol
grip, hip drive, and lung capacity all get taxed
though, since I have done this protocol a few times now, 80 sets is not that big of a stretch any more
barely get out of breath, not bragging, just saying that you adapt to whatever you do and if you minimize the stress levels, you adapt faster
40 minutes tops, 15 sq feet of space with enough overhead room for the weight at full lock out, and a moderate weight and you are in business
if anyone is interested in the protocol I can give you the basics pretty quickly
once a week has been my pattern lately, with as much stick work and knife action as I can fit into my schedule
Anderson Silva, Minatauro, and Wand all train out of the same gym - Chute Boxe Academy. an academy that trains all those styles together.
