THE POST "TRUE CARDIOVASCULAR KETTLEBELL TRAINING: IMPROVING THE SSST (LONG)
I will share with you one of my best advanced protocols for improving VO2max and lactate buffering capacity using the kettlebell. To improve the 10 min. SSST you need to tax the oxidative energy pathways as well as the glycolytic pathways. Basically that means that you should train to stimulate your VO2max and your lactate producing and buffering capacities. The program below is derived from the latest research on improving 10-15 min. work bouts. Most research is done on running and bicycling for good reason but based on findings from these studies it is possible to specifically design optimal SSST programs using this data and the knowledge of VO2 kinetics during submaximal and maximal work. I will not go into the deep theory behind this kind of training but rather just provide you with a protocol you can start doing immediately. Should you be interested in knowing in detail why and how it works I hope to see you at the RKC II where there is a possibility of discussing it further. The first thing you have to do is to establish at what snatch cadence you come the closest to eliciting your VO2max. This is done by doing an incremental test that lasts no less than 6 minutes. Basically you just start out very slow and for each minute you increase the cadence. When you have get to the 6th minute you go all out snatching as many times as you can without stopping for at least one minute. The test might look like this but is subject to individual differences: 1st minute: 10 reps left arm 2nd minute: 12 reps right arm 3rd minute 15 reps left arm 4th minute: 17 reps right arm 5th minute: 18 reps left arm
