February 19, 2016 – Invictus Athlete

Session One
Snatch Technique Warm-Up
Three sets of:
Snatch-Grip Romanian Deadlift x 3 reps
Snatch High Pull from Below Knee x 3 reps
Muscle-Snatch x 3 reps
Overhead Squat x 3 reps @ 3211
Snatch Push Press x 3 reps
Snatch Balance x 3 reps
Hang Power Snatch x 3 reps
Snatch from Below Knee x 3 reps

*Set 1 – Empty Barbell
*Set 2 – 95/65 lbs
*Set 3 – 95/65 lbs

A.
Take 20 minutes to build to today’s 1-RM Snatch

B.
“Commitment”
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
8 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
2 Snatches

Rules and Scoring:
1. The load you select must stay the same throughout the 10 minutes – you cannot increase or decrease the load.
2. You are only allowed two snatch attempts in each minute.
3. Score your total load successfully lifted. E.g., 185 x 2, 185 x 2, 185 x 1.F = 925

Why “Commitment” – because everything is easy in the beginning; the question is what can you commit to and follow through on no matter how difficult it gets.

Session Two

Preface today by saying that this week has been tough even though the volume hasn’t been as high as it has been for the past 2 months or so. Is this something everyone is feeling? Would like to know how everyone’s doing. Maybe type below on a score of 1 -10 on how you feel. Don’t get me wrong I’m definitely strong and moving very very well but I feel a little burnt. A: Snatch up to 105kg. Haven’t felt good with these since the CFI online comp. Max is 265 when I was weighing 206. Down to 191. B:… Read more »

Yes absolutely through RPS. This time last year I was nowhere close to what I’m doing now skill-wise and as far as conditioning is concerned. I honestly just think it’s been a tough week. I do feel the most conditioned I’ve ever been just had numbers in my head of what I wanted to hit this week and I didn’t make them. Goddamn snatches haha. Which when I was around 206 I would hit 245 almost without fail every week. Couldn’t do 15 muscle ups in a row then so…

Session 1: Snatch Warm up – done A. Hit 170# after failing it twice and getting a little pissed at myself 🙂 That’s only 5# under my lifetime PR. It was a Crossfit make (bit of a press out) lol. B. Commitment – 2700# went with 135 (debated on going with 145) hit all snatches and all C2B unbroken. All rounds were 25 sec or less. Probably should have knuckled up and done 145! C. Didn’t have a max set of burpees in 60 sec so did that! 22 reps D. Built to 205# on the C&J – everything felt… Read more »
