I introduced Fatigue Cycling with signs of success; increased
work-rate; efficiency in training. Obviously the greatest benefits can only be
reaped with continual use, which I am not doing, because I needed a slightly
more flexible program, due to a change in my schedule. To fit in the required
work, I can now use multiple 5-15min sessions throughout the day, rather than
committing to a single session. In light of this last condition, I also felt it
necessary to step up from 5 days of training to 6 days. Do note that I have
kept the same lifts, and that varying reps, sets, frequency, rest or load is a
legitimately successful way to train.
Snatch times have been gradually improving. I can now
consistently achieve 8/8 snatches with the 24kg in 50sec without any undue
strain on my elbows or grip. As a result the 24kg feels lighter than it did a
few weeks ago.
The pulse pull-ups have also showed promise, and are
evolving into an isometric component of my training, and hopefully rehab for my
elbows. I will post a lengthy segment on isometric training in the coming weeks,
with a review of my progress also.

One of the earliest proponents of isometric training developed
amazing strength, obviously.
