A1. 65/65/65 I couldn’t do these last time I tried. Weight wasn’t really the limiting factor, definitely more of a mobility problem, last inch in the bottom on the descent was the toughest. But just doing them pain free is a victory.

A. No press from receiving (knee and shoulder); press and ohs–55#, press challenging; high hang all over the place-65/65/65/70/75, snatch hi pull instead of balance–way worse at this, built up to 90#
B. 75(2)/75(3)/78(2)/78(3)/80(2)
C. Energy and skill low here
4:45/4:45/4:55–hspu slow/5:00– 5-6 strict every round, then kip to 10, wallballs broken up more than usual :(.

Limited time in the gym today.
A – Snatch press just hurts. Stuck with empty bar. Then went to snatch balance and felt stable all the way to 165. Stopped there as right shoulder has been sore lately and didn’t want to push.
B – Strict press at 150# (90%).
B* – Competitor Strength Program (7/17): Front Squat. E2:20min (10 sets) 210×3, 220×3, 230×3, 240×3, 245×2, 250×2, 255×2, 260×2, 270×1, 275×1.
C – 2:45, 2:45, 2:45, 2:40. Pushed run a little harder on last round. In hindsight probably should have pushed run harder each round. All sets UB.

Today’s Snatch Work

Snatch Press + Ohs x4 that 4th one was brutal and I was only at 95#.

High Hang at 135-145

Receiving barbell on Snatch balance was too much on shoulder called it a day.
