Kettlebell ICT: Week 4 Completed

These are the kettlebell weights I used - same as last week:

Session A

A1 Snatch 12kg
A2 Press 16kg

B1 Snatch 12kg
B2 Bottoms Up Goblet Squat 16kg

Session B

A1 Push Press 16kg
A2 Bottoms Up Goblet Squat 16kg

B1 Push Press 16kg
B2 Supported Row 16kg

My conditioning continued to improve. During the last session of the week (Session B), I did not have to rest for the maximum 2 minutes. Under autoregulation guidelines I was often ready to go with 35-45 seconds still left on the timer.

For Weeks 1-3 I set the timer to 33 seconds - the extra seconds to account for set up time - counted how many reps I did until the timer rang, then did the same number of reps for every set of the conditioning exercise for the rest of the workout. I just didn't feel like changing the timer back and forth between the conditioning time and the maximum rest time.

For this week, I used the timer on all conditioning sets. This allowed me to focus more on the pacing and quality of movement. I tended to rush more when I was counting reps.
