  • Overhead Squats @ 45lbs (empty bar)

Not for time

  • 30 x TRX Pike Press
  • 30 x Russian Twists (over/back = 1 rep) @ 10kg

Results: For the first part worked up to 65lbs.  Metcon in 14:11, Overhead Squats were not as hard as I thought they would be… did the first round of 21 unbroken. Next time need to go heavier. I remember the day when one empty bar OHS was impossible!

EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 1 x High Hang Power Snatch
  • 2 x Overhead Squat

EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 1 x High Hang Squat Snatch

Then 5 rounds

  • 1 x Overhead Squat

Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.

Results:  After the goat day I did about a month ago and was able to do a semi good squat snatch, I decided that maybe it is just a matter of practice and repetition to be able to get it right.  Last time just stuck with an empty bar.  This time increased weight when it felt right.  First part –  got up to 60lbs.  Second part – got up to 65lbs.  Last part – got up to 95lbs.

  • 3 x Overhead Squat

Increase weight per round.

Then every 2 minutes for 14 minutes

  • 1.1.1 x Power Snatch, rest 5 seconds between singles

Increase weight per round starting at the weight from the last part.

Then for time do 21-15-9 of

  • Alternating Dumbbell Snatch @ 21kg
  • Dips

Results:  Got up to 80lbs for the OHS.  For the snatch did 95/100/65/65/70/75/80.  Dropped the weight after 100lbs to work on form since it felt like it was so bad.  For the metcon 4:53.

For form do 3 rounds of

  • 5 x Overhead Squats with empty bar

Then take 15 minutes and work on snatch form by doing hanging snatches.  Keep weight light, empty bar or maybe 30kg.

  • 5 x Hanging Snatch (above the knee)

Then for time do (time cap of 20 minutes)

  • 100 x Dumbbell Snatch @ 21kg
  • 40 calorie Row
  • 30 x Burpees
  • 20 x Strict Pullups

Results:  Reduced the total reps for the last three rounds since the calorie counter on my rower counts differently than on the ConceptII (and 80 calories is boring as hell).  Used the full 20 minutes, stopping at 15 pullups.
