T-8 Days until ACL Reconstruction

Workout #3
8 min Press @ 12kg (7rpm)
Did snatches first. Press set went well.
8 min Snatch @ 12kg (15rpm) - do 6 min if you need to
Switched at 3 min and then did 4 min on right hand. Averaged out to 15rpm, but had to work to make up reps because I found that my pace was too slow starting out.

T-11 Days until ACL Reconstruction

Workout #1 8/10
6 Min Press @ 12kg (8rpm)
6 Min Snatch @ 12kg (15rpm)
My elbow was sore so I only went 2 minutes on the left arm. (I did an arnis class in between the press and snatch set so that didn't help.)
8 Min Press @ 8kg (10rpm)
Both press sets were good.

Workout #2 8/14
10 Min Snatch @ 12kg (14rpm) - let's just try it
Good set overall. Did 69 snatches on the left and 70 snatches on the right. The last two minutes on the left and the last one and a half minutes on the right were bouncy on top. Elbow feels ok.
4 Min Press @ 12kg (10rpm)
Both press sets were good.

T-17 Days until ACL Reconstruction

Workout #1 7/26
6 Min Press @ 12kg (6rpm)
6 Min 8kg (8rpm)
6 Min Snatch @ 12kg (15-16rpm)
Good sets. I may have extended the 8kg set to 8 minutes.

Workout #3 7/29
4 Min Snatch @ 12kg (16rpm)
rest 1 min
4 Min Clean @ 12kg (12rpm)
rest 1 min4 min Press @ 12kg (8rpm)
I’m not sure why, but cleans bothered my knee again. I have a new brace that may help with these next time.

Workout #2 7/31
6 Min Press @ 12kg (8rpm)
6 Min Snatch @ 12kg (16rpm)
Good sets. I could probably do something longer and/or add a set or two more into the mix.

Workout #1 8/1
6 min Press @ 12kg (7rpm)
6 Min Snatch @ 12kg (16rpm)
6 Min Press @ 8kg (10rpm)
Snatches ended up being about 15rpm. The rest of the workout went ok.

Workout #3 8/8
8 Min Snatch @ 12kg (16rpm)
Left: 16/16/16/15 Right: 16/16/16/16
For about the last minute on each hand, the kettlebell bounced too much at the top. Still, I was happy with the 8 minute set.
8 Min Press @ 8Kg (8rpm)
Used the 12kg instead of the 8kg for the set.
