Snappy Snatchy

Made it in for the 5:30 class.

Warm-up

• Crossover Symmetry Activation
• PVC Pass-thrus
• 20 PVC Presses
• Zombie Kicks
• 30 Jumping Jacks

Strength – Shoulder Press

• 6×45#
• 4×95
• 2×115
• 2×135
• 2×155
• 2×165
• 1×175 (matches PR, failed 2nd rep)
• 2×172.5 (PR)

I need to just always put on the belt when getting up there. I overextended too much trying to hit that second rep with 175. Put the belt on, dropped down and was able to grind out the PR double. I really wanted that 175 double after hitting 3×170 not too long ago!

Conditioning

8 Rounds

• 6 Push Presses (95#)
• 8 Burpees
• 10 GHD Sit-ups

Longer than expected, but the burpees and GHD sit-ups slow down significantly. Finished in 11:01.

Midline

6 Rounds

• 20s Bicycle Crunch
• 10s Rest
• 20s Plank
• 10s Rest

Can’t remember the last time I did those crunches. I did the planks on my hands and really tried to lean out forward to get some extra wrist work.

Weightlifting

Asked Alex if he wanted to work up to a quick snatch before he had to coach the next class. Got after it! All into the full squat.

• 2x3x45#
• 3×95
• 3×115
• 3×135
• 2×155
• 1×175
• 1×185
• 1×195
• 1×205
• Missed 215 twice

Felt great and really snappy. Was really trying to be aggressive with the lockout because that’s where I seem to fail when it gets heavy. On the misses it definitely didn’t have the same feel. My back was feeling it a little bit from that shoulder press too and I can get loose at it gets really heavy. Any day I hit 200 or more is a good day though. Today it just happened to be enough to match my bodyweight. I was going to drop to 185 just to end on a make but I felt a little tweak in my back as I was twisting to put a couple plates away. Called it quits instead of risking it.
