PM Session:

Snatch openers and activation then,

For time:
20 Snatches
*My snatch is well below 250 so I took this at 85% ish. Last cycle we had 20 for time at I think 80% (not sure if that was the exact percentage). So the goal here today was to hit 20 reps at a heaver weight than last time and still do it faster.

Time: 5:33 @ 185 (86%)
Last time: 5:47 @ 175
No misses

Then did WZA Qualifier WOD 4 – Intermediate division
Score: 174 – 3:27 tiebreak

Started off with AirBike Cond. Times for 12 cal as follows 17-18-16-16-16-16-16-18-18-20 22-23-21-22–21-21-21-21-21-25 24-26-23-22-22-22-21-22-22-24 That was pretty mentally exhausting. A bit tough with the fasted AM training but still good. Then Main Portion, just did ‘D’ as it takes too much time to warm up and try to make snatch positioning feel good. D. Front squats 135-185-185-205-205 ,5 reps eachset. Primary Conditioning Did 15 cal row instead of bike. Already did 400cal on the AB at the start. Row was 34-37 seconds Wallballs UB Burpees, did ‘No Jump’, 40-42 seconds Strength Accessory ‘Body Row’ instead of curls Paloff press done… Read more »

Thanks Tino.
Definitely a grind at 7:30am. Had the internal battle of “just start with 10 sets” “you have more Conditioning after, just do 15” “you can do 20, but leave it there, your glycogen is drained” “okay you’re maintaining pace, just finish it off”

Hahaha, especially training mostly alone, near empty gym. I find if you converse long enough it gets to the pint where you’re almost done and you just finish it

Drive for longer than you think you need to and think about finishing with your shoulders further behind the bar.

Every two minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets):
Clean x 1.1 @ 85%
*All sets at 245

2k Row Test: 7:26.5 (1:51.6 avg 500m)

*This is a 13 second PR from when we tested it at the beginning of the cycle. Still not groundbreaking but progress is progress.

So hopefully the surgery helped. 5 months out now. Seeing doc today. Excited and nervous to see what he says. Practiced kips and they’re feeling better too. Front squat @135 5 reps. 4 sec is so long lol Felt good though Emom done 10 reps #20 lb had to scale down but went unbroken which I was happy about 10 cal bike 15 burpees Spicy on shoulders Gymnastics program… Read more »
