ROCK-TOBER is here!!! Let’s get it! Comp. season is coming up!
a. done 55-125lbs
b. 23:50 at 90% since my PR is 165 (150lbs) What a doozy! I had 10 misses & some GREAT reps. Loved the challenge!

PC: 5:02 Rx – a big improvement since 8/20 at 8:25. I knew I could do each round in about 2 mins each and pushed myself to go as fast as I could. Pull ups got a little squirrelly on the last round but I guess thats to be expected.

AOS: some 400’s & 200m sprints with a friend

If that’s not a real thing maybe it is now “Rocktober!”

Maybe a little aggressive on the loading for the snatches nonetheless awesome work seeing it through! It must have been a challenge for sure!

Same recommendation as below. Please be smart and look after yourself after a competition. The intensity has an effect and it will take longer to recover than you think. Forgetting meals doesn’t help that recovery process either 🙂

Let your body recover after the weekends comp. PLEASE be smart. There’s no need to rush back to training after all the weekends work. It’s important your recover so you can continue to train hard and progress.

You can drop and reset o your snatches wherever you feel comfortable. We are looking for perfect positions not how well you can cycle a barbell 🙂

Had one good event and then my legs were completely smoked after that. It was a full on cardio workout I did better at than the strength ones which surprised me since all I’ve been doing is the lifting/accessory ?

Make note of what you changed on your snatches that made a difference and use that learning going forward when you lift.
