Dropping Dime Squats

Went up to Rogers City for a couple of days, so yesterday was a rest day. Out in the garage for a solo workout today.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 Air Dyne
  • 45# Snatch Position Work
  • 2×2 95# Power Snatch
  • 3×1 135# Power Snatch

Starting to do power snatches when I don’t have to drop all the way down into a full squat. A few thoughts on this:

  1. Should help to teach the timing of receiving the bar at different positions instead of just trying to drop ass to grass all the time. Dropping to far causes the bar to come crashing down on me and sometimes is the reason for a miss.
  2. More powerful because it forces me to be explosive in the 2nd pull in order to get the bar high enough.

20:00 EMOM

  • 1 Power Snatch (155#)

20/20! Naturally started to drop a little lower as I fatigued towards the end, but was still well above parallel.

Strength

Back Squats

  • 10 x 45#
  • 10 x 135#
  • 10 x 185#
  • 10 x 225#
  • 10 x 255#
  • 10 x 215#
  • 10 x 175#
  • 10 x 125#

Pretty rough.

E2M 14:00

  • 10 GHD Sit-ups
  • 10 DB Shoulder Presses (35# DBs)

Did the movements back to back and then rested the remainder of the two minutes. Finished in about 45 seconds each round.
