Lower the Power

My glutes and legs are sore from the the split squats. Went to the 4pm again.

Warm-up

2 Rounds

  • 30 Double Unders
  • 15 PVC Pass Throughs
  • 10 Push-ups

Weightlifting

  • 5 High Pulls (45#)
  • 5 High Hang Muscle Snatch (45#)
  • 5 Overhead Squats (45#)
  • 10 Snatch Balance (45#)
  • 10 Power Snatch (45#)
  • 3 Power Snatch (95#)
  • 3 Power Snatch (125#)

E30S – 10:00

  • 1 Power Snatch (165#)

My feet starting catching wide somewhere around rep 8, so today was a good time to work on dropping into a lower power snatch. Was a bit odd and uncomfortable, but I was getting the hang of it by the end.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 60 Double Unders
  • 12 Dumbbell Bench Press (50# DBs)
  • 6 Bar Muscle-ups

I broke up the dubs into sets of 20 again, hoping to keep my heart rate down. Bench presses were all unbroken, though after the second round reps 8-12 definitely got slower. I was expecting to jump up and knock out 6 unbroken every round (or at least a few), but then I missed my very first muscle-up. Oh shit! Plan B. I focused on my movement and knocked out two reps. Sets of two was the new goal. Most of those sets were not easy, but I made it without missing again. I could feel the fatigue in my pulling muscles right from the first round. Maybe from the strict toes to bars yesterday or from 20 heavy snatches. Going right after bench press was tough as well. I finished in 14:58.

Had my first protein shake in 5.5 months after I stopped supplements to fix some concerning lab results.
