Tuesday Times Two

Scorching high in the 90s today and was already about 80 out at 10am when I went in.

Warm-up

• Run 300m
• 2:00 Air Dyne

Olympic Lifting

Snatch Balances

• 2 @ 95#
• 2 @ 125#
• 2 @ 135#
• 2 @ 155# (Failed first attempt at 2nd rep, then made it)
• 1 @ 165#
• 1 @ 170#
• 1 @ 175#
• 1 @ 180#
• 1 @ 185# (Failed first try, then made it)

Once it gets heavy I don’t drop under enough. It turns into more of a snatch push press and an OHS, but I’m getting more comfortable under the weights.

Snatch Deadlifts

• 3 @ 165#
• 3 @ 175#
• 3 @ 185#
• 3 @ 195#

Wore lifting straps this time to save my thumbs. Feels so heavy!

Strength

Warmed up back squats with 5 @ 185# and 3 @ 225# and did a quick set of 5 snatch presses with an empty bar.

10:00 EMOM

• Odds: 5 @ 100# Snatch Press
• Evens: 2 @ 275# Back Squat

In the first couple of sets I was coming forward in the descent on my back squats, causing me to be leaning forward and toe-sy on the drive back up. By focusing on it I was able to correct it for the rest of the sets.

Cooled down with 5:00 on the Air Dyne. Back at 5pm for class…

Olympic Lifting

20:00 to work on:

• 1 Muscle Snatch + 2 Snatch Balances

This was our warm-up. Started with a training bar for some reps, then a women’s bar, and finally a men’s bar. Started adding 10# at a time and got up to 105#. First time really ever doing muscle snatches. I really focused on dropping fast on the snatch balances.

WOD

10:00 AMRAP

• 30 DU
• 15 Power Snatches (75#)

I really tried to hit my hips, but it was a struggle when you have so many reps and are really fatigued. Completed 4 + 37 (30 DU and 7 snatches). Sweating like a pig. High reps on the barbell killed me as usual.

Finisher

50-40-30-20-10

• Sit-ups (Anchored with DBs)
• Russian swings (53# KB)

My core was still sore from the GHD and T2B I did a few days ago. This fired those abs right back up. Talk about a burn and not being used to the anchored foot position really worked the hip flexors a lot more. I had a nice puddle of sweat under my back after this.

Rest day tomorrow!
