Finished the weekend on a high with another good training session. Short and intense workouts are the way to go! I didn't time mine today - but it was roughly 20 minutes. It went as follows:
21-15-9 reps of
  • Power Snatch (40kg)
  • Overhead Squat (40kg)
  • Weighted Push ups (20kg)

Then a casual 3km run with a few stairs and sprints thrown in.
