190 Pound Snatch

Trained with Matt at 10am again.

Warm-up

• 3:00 Air Dyne
• 45# Snatch Position Work (really quick)

Snatches

• 3 Power Snatches @ 75#
• 3 Power Snatches @ 95#
• 3 Power Snatches @ 115#
• 3 Power Snatches @ 135#
• E30S 2:00 155# Power Snatch (4 reps)
• E45S 3:00 165# Power Snatch (4 reps)
• 175# Power Snatches (F, 1, 1)
• 185# Snatch (borderline whether it could be considered a power snatch)
• 190# Snatch (PR – video below)
• 195# Snatch (F, F)

As I worked up I was focusing on the aggressive 3rd pull and forcing the lockout. The 185# attempt ended up forward on my toes, but I walked it forward coming up and saved it. Here’s the PR lift…

The 2nd attempt at 195# wasn’t too bad. Started out instead of in coming off the floor, but only a little. The bar didn’t get much outside of the line after the hip. I received the bar back behind the original line and above parallel. Just too soft and let the weight crash down on me.

Strength

OHS

• 3 x 135#
• 3 x 155#
• 3 x 175#
• 1-F x 195#

Pretty fatigued in that OH position after all of the snatches. Gotta know when to shut it down some days.

Back Squats

• 5 x 185#
• 3 x 225#
• 2 x 265#
• 2 x 295#
• 3 x 1 x 310#

Both Matt and I could tell our legs didn’t have a lot in them after the Air Dyne workout yesterday.

WOD

5 Rounds

• 15 Russian KBS OTM (62# KB)
• 15 Russian KBS OTM (71# KB)

It was taking us about 26 seconds to get the work done each minute. Solid 15 minute workout. Matt used 71-80-88.
