Crossfitter with a background in powerlifting, but a new found love for Olympic weightlifting. Watch as I figure out how to do things like cardio and this whole mobility thing. The blog contains my weekly training and ramblings about things that I notice inside and outside the gym related to training and physical or mental strength.

Power Snatch + Hang Snatch + 2 OHS
Went up through 75, 95, 115, 135, 155, 165, then got stuck under the hang snatch at 185. The hang snatch itself was crisp and fast, my speed under the bar is getting much better. But I just didn't have the legs to get the weight back up.
Workout was a doozie.

Fun workout tonight. Was planning on just going in for mobility but the WoD intrigued me too much.
So the workout lasted thirty minutes.
EMOTM
1-10
Even : two power snatches
Odd : 8 push ups and 15 second plank
11-20
Even : power snatch and ohs
Odd : push up/ plank
21-30
Even : snatch
Odd : push up/ plank
Used 95lbs for power snatches. Wanted to stay light and just wok technique. Didn't want to tire out for tomorrow... But I also like heavy things. So, for the singles at the end, I added 20lbs per round.
Ended with probably the best feeling 195lb snatch I've ever landed. It just felt great. Weighed in at 195 today, so that's a nice bodyweight life right there.
