Buttercups:

pvc-15 pound Power snatch, 35 reps

This ended up feeling futile. I need a coach. Hopefully I'll get some determination at the Cert next month as to what form adjustments I need.

I used PVC. I think I need to fill it with sand just to get a sense of the gravity involved.

Lovin' my Five Fingers! I wear them around the house for an hour or so at a time. I did the workout last night in them. I normally live barefoot as much as possible. Growing up here in Alabama I remember Mom announcing that it was warm enough to go barefoot being almost as important as Christmas. I still have the thick soles on my feet I earned walking on the black pavement in the 98+ sunshine. I've even been known to teach in socked feet. I guess it's no surprise that the shoes were meant for me!

you'll get there with the snatch. i think it's one of the most difficult moves, so the fact that you are even trying it is phenominal! i did 'em too, and boy do we all need a good coach. if i were to ever choose a cert., i think i'd go with the oly lifting one coached by burgener. seeing where he has brought his students and children speaks a ton to his effectiveness as a coach.

I have that in mind already - we'll see where this level 1 goes. Most of the calisthenic/gymnastic moves are not a big stretch for me (at least in terms of technique!). The power lifts are so well covered in Starting Strength, that I may need a tweak or two but don't anticipate finding out that I am way of the mark. The oly lifts - well, that is a whole 'nother game!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Almost Finished Resting

15:00 minutes on the rower. Rolled it outside in the sun. 85 degrees. Felt great. Logged 101 calories - my rower doesn't count distance :( I am starting to feel refreshed and ready to jump back into the WODs. I almost did yesterday's - but made myself wait. I'll get in after the next rest day. Oh, I still feel the swim!

AMRAP in 10 minutes 100m sprint (25m out n back x2) 10 situps 10 supermans 5 rds + 50m Did this in the school basket ball/ volleyball gym. I was able to be barefoot on the wooden court. Very comfy. I had a little twinge in my back from carrying this front-loaded fat vest but it's way better than it has been.

AMRAP in 10:00 5 DL @ 215lbs 5 Burpees 5 Squat Cleans @ 105lbs 5 Burpees Total - 4 rounds huffing and puffing. Thanks to Charles for giving me this one on FaceBook. His suggested weights were 300 on the DLs and 185 on the cleans. I knew better than to try that! HA! Warmed up with OHS and pigeons. The OHS stuff with the bar and not PVC - time to be a big boy!
