VO2Max[4]: VHIT

I like The Dane of Pain's VO2Max protcol, but time is a huge factor in my schedule.
So before reaching the optimal number of sets, I bumped up my rep count to 8.
8 Reps in 15 sec is fast. I don't see how some of you guys are doing 10 per 15 secs!
...especially you taller gireviks! That bell must be flying!

The few bumps on my handle weren't an issue at 7 reps, but at 8 I got a blister were I haven't even had tenderness before. Time to break out the Dremmel.

16 kg, 40 sets of 8 reps = 320 reps

I will never forget seeing Nepodal Dremmel his callouses at the RKC. :)
And yeah, it is amazing to imagine being able to do 8, 9, 10 reps every 15 seconds....
How did the 40 reps go, did the blister stop you before your lungs/body did?

I meant to say sets, not reps...

40 was not bad. I probably could have gone 50. My blister didn't pop, but It might have on 5 more sets on that hand.

40 sets (20 minutes) was my starting goal for my first session at the faster rate.
