Today the girls had to do in-house qualifiers because our team qualified and we have 4 girls. So started with 5-3-1 squat snatch at 125/135/145, got the 125, 5/6 attempts in 4:21, then failed 135 5 times Max unbroken mus; got 7 25 strict hspu for time: 2:03 200’ hsw, I’m terrible at hsw, so didn’t even get that far when they decided to call the teams, and my snatch was considered a critical weakness so I didn’t make the team ?

Not this time, the other girls can all snatch over 155. It would have been my 7th time at regionals but didn’t make the cut this year. I just can’t seem to keep up with the heavy lifting.

If the heavy stuff is a huge hole for me compared to all the general capacity stuff, would I benefit more from doing the Invictus 12 week lifting template, or doing the Invictus Athlete with strength accessory?

Cut all conditioning and focus on the primary strengthand strength accessory along with increasing your calories and putting on some size!

Thanks Tino, I’ll see how that goes. No conditioning will be tough, but I guess that’s why I’m weak, so I can’t expect things to change without changing things.
Watching the team get to compete without me is certainly more than enough motivation to attack that lack of strength!

This is a rough combo on me. I remember this one last summer or if it wasn’t summer it was a very hot day. Hard then. Hard today. Those runs were terrible after my lighting up my hamstrings. Burpees and running I don’t stop but I slow way down. Fun Saturday tho. Thanks coaches
