My abs are sore from the massive number of back squats yesterday and probably the finisher as well. My legs aren’t really sore at all though. A bit fatigued.
Went to the 6pm Olympic lifting class and worked on snatches.
- Snatch
- Hang Snatch
- Snatch Balance
Worked on these one round at a time without putting the bar down. Took a rest after each time through and added some weight. I started with the bar for a few rounds, then went 75#, 95#, 105#, and 115#. I missed the snatch balance on my first attempt at 105# so I did that one again. I’ve never done a hang snatch before. It’s a lot tougher than starting from the floor.
- Snatch Grip Deadlift
- Snatch Pull
I started with 125# for a couple of sets, then went 145# for a couple of sets, and finally some at 165#. Not sure how many sets I did at each but it was probably 2 or 3.
After class I headed over to Kevin’s for some garage work.
5×5 Weighted Chin-ups
We almost always do pull-ups weighted at the gym so we figured we’d switch it up a little. I used 10# for the first 2 sets and then 15# for the last 3 sets.
5×3 Weighted Dips
I went 10#, 15#, 20#, 25#, and 35#. Had a few more pounds left in the gas tank too.
Then, the geniuses that we are, we decided to do some high box jumps. After each doing 1-2 jumps at 34″ and 40″, we decided on the 44″. This was a bad idea after so many back squats yesterday. I landed my first jump, but the second one was bad news. My right foot got up, by my left nailed the box and it tumbled off to the right. Scraped up my leg in two places and got a nice bruise that instantly swelled up. Ouch! At least I didn’t get scraped up a ton with this spill.
Finally, did some ab work.
8 Rounds
- 10 GHD Sit-ups
- 10 Pullovers (40# DB)
