Was awake an hour earlier than usual and couldn’t fall back asleep. So much for getting 8+ hours like I had been. Feeling good though after yesterday’s deadlifting.

Warm-up

  • 25 MB Squat Cleans
  • 2x Burgener Snatch Warm-up
  • 2 rounds
    • 10 GHD Sit-ups
    • 10 Hip Extensions

I used a 20# MB for the squats cleans and used a 45# bar for the Burgener warm-up

Strength
5 Sets of 1 Heaving Snatch Balance followed immediately by 3 OHS

The Olympic class on Sunday helped a little bit with doing these and ended up helping a lot in the WOD. I started off with the 45# bar, and then did weights of 65#, 85#, 95#, and 105#. I really have to struggle to keep my balance with OHS and I was trying to remember to push my knees out while squatting.

WOD
12-9-6

  • Power Snatch
  • Burpees
  • 600m Run (only 1 each round)

I used 95# for the power snatches, but probably should have used 105# to push my limits. With the snatch being so new I didn’t want to go too heavy and risk hurting myself because of bad technique. I finished the WOD in 15:05.
