July 23, 2019 – Competition

A.
Handstand Play Time
Spend time getting comfortable being upside down. Get confident with a handstand, then continue to challenge yourself with new obstacles and goals.

B.
Every two minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets):
Snatch x 1 rep

Loads per set (by %) – 55, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 101, 101+

C.
“Commitment”

Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
10 Toes-to-Bar
2 Snatches

*The load you select must stay the same throughout the 10 minutes – you cannot increase or decrease the load.
**You are only allowed two snatch attempts in each minute.
***Score your total load successfully lifted. E.g. 185 x 2, 185 x 2, 185 x 1.F = 925

Why “Commitment” – because everything is easy in the beginning; the question is what can you commit to and follow through on no matter how difficult it gets.

D.
For volume accumulation NOT time, perform rounds of 20, 19, 18…and so on down to 1 rep of:
Even Numbers: Push-Ups
Odd Numbers: Bent Over Barbell Row @ 0.75 Bodyweight

i.e.
20 Push Ups
19 Bent-Over Barbell Row
18 Push Ups
17 Bent-Over Barbell Row. . .etc

Hello,
I follow your program for a few days now and I like it very much.
I have one question.
When there stands Snatch or clean is it always a Squatsnatch/squatclean or can I do also power?

I’ve been following his programming for a while and it seems like if it says snatch it’s squat snatch. It will say if they want you to power or give you the option.

A) did drop snatch and Snatch balance
B) 245, missed 255 behind me and got 265 over my head for the first time

C) 4000 (200×20)

need to work T2B or just my grip in general. This got close.

200×20 (4000) no misses last 3 sets were done at 3-5 seconds

1-5 T2B UB
6-7 T2B 6-4
8-10 T2B 4 to 6 reps then chip I was at the end of my rope.

Snatches were easy moved well.

D) 145 on the BOR
7:07

A) done. Can’t do walks yet but I’m working on it.
B) 65, 80, 85, 90, 97, 102, 107, 112, 117, 122- 2# PR
C) subbed 8 OH plate sit-ups because my hands are super ripped up rn and snatches at 85. Maybe could’ve gone 5# heavier on the snatches
D) jumped right into this from C because I was running late to pick up my kids so did this at 85# (def not .75 bw haha!!)

So, I’ve been trying out the blog for a month or so now and am really enjoying it!

I have noticed on Tuesdays doing HSW followed by snatches seems to make me really light headed during my lifts. I don’t really experience that any other time. I follow RP and am pretty good about my nutrition around working out. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the community Danielle!

Make sure you’re breathing to start. A lot of athletes tend to hold their breathe and also strain their neck trying to look forward. Both could be causing the dizziness.
