Pretty good gains. I am going to start CC on monday but I am going to start from the most basic exercises for the big 6 even though I'm reasonably fit. Are you still following VC? Cos I'm sure that rugby would take care of your V02MAX...
I'm also thinking of doing rugby with my scholl, but it might clash with my (football) soccer practices so we'll see how it goes.
How old are you may I ask?
Thanks.
From what I have experienced, skipping the shoulderstand squat is not a bad idea. Did some googling and found out that most of the criticism towards the book is aimed squarely at the squat progression. It's sort of an awkward exercise. Otherwise the progression is great.
After about a week of trying out VC, I tweaked my shoulder a bit and found out that my snatch form is very bad and needed work. I bought Pavel's "Enter the Kettlebell" and I'm slowly working up to mastering the snatch. High pulls help a lot.
As for rugby, my current VO2MAX is not bad, but if I'm not substituted out after about sixty minutes, I start dragging ass and the team suffers. This is not a big surprise since I play lock and am very aggressive with tackling and rucking. I'm 21.
