Viking Warrior Conditioing

Viking Warrior Conditioning Day 3: 15:15 protocol:

40 Total sets w/ 16kg Kettlebell.

NOTES:

-8 more sets than last time
-Cheated a big and took some Rhodiola Rosea prior to my effort.
-Had a very light breakfast: 1 yoghurt and some Earl Grey Tea with Honey.
Had a bit of water to make up for the astringent taste.
- Had about 7 hours of sleep.
- Mouth felt a bit dry when starting (because of the tea)
- Heart rate right after the last set: +/- 170 bpm.
- Will use the same parameters as above and substract the Rhodiola, see if I can make 45 sets then ;-)

Viking Warrior Conditioning

That's right. Going for the 15:15 protocol for 7 reps with the 16kg.

VWC:

30 sets x 7 reps

Tonnage: 7350lb of work.

NOTES:
- Heart rate right after was around 160 bpm. Not bad. Means I should do at least 10 sets more next time.
- What are my goals with this? To dramatically enhance my cardiovascular conditioning and GPP. This will mainly be measured by general feel and resting heart rate.
-Last measured lowest resting heart rate was around 60-70 bpm. 65bpm being a good average.
