WOD

Snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

80 - 90 - 90 - 95 - 105 - 115(PR) - 120f

These were all from the ground - except the last one, which was an attempt at a hang power snatch. If there's one thing I need to work on for these (and there's more than one) it's flexibility!

Your overhead squat PR is 65 pounds but you're snatching 115? How exactly does that work? I would imagine it would be the other way around but I guess it depends where your strengths and weaknesses are.

No, you're right splint.

I was really holding back on that OHS. I have a lot of leveling out to do in terms of the numbers. I think my snatch wasn't as deep as it should have been (not a "legal" squat depth.) In fact, I feel very comfortable doing a split snatch.

My low squat numbers are more an indication of lack of flexibility than strength. I also tend to be good at things that require quick reflexes (hence my love for the oly-lifting.)

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!
