A. I loved this! Started at 105 worked up to a solid 135 (93.5%) at the 8th round of snatches – missed 140 twice but so pumped honestly to get 140 overhead, it’s been a looooong time Still jumping my feet in when it gets heavy, wondering if Snatch balances would help with this? I’ll post a couple videos to the Facebook page. B. Deadlifts @ 165 C. Back squats @ 150 D. The heat killed me and my low back blew up big time on the wall balls…that was rough Got through 7 rounds in about 15:00 and called… Read more »

PM Session: Every 2 minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets): Snatch x 1 rep *Sets 1-2 – 65-75% – 155, 165 *Sets 3-4 – 80-85% – 175, 185 *Sets 5-6 – 85-90% – 190, 195 *Sets 7-8 – 90-95% – 200, 205 *Sets 9-10 – 95+% – 205, 210 I kinda worked backwards on the percentages a bit. 205 is 95% for me and I know I lift better when I take small jump. I typically have no issues hitting anything below like 87% and I wanted a few good shots at 205. Felt decent today. For time: 1 Mile… Read more »

A. My snatches were all out in front on Friday, so I did all of these with no foot movement and the difference was night and day. They all felt effortless and I was able to work up heavier than I did on the day we built up. 135/140/145/150/155/160/160/165/170/175#
B. 285# for all sets
C. 215# for all sets
D. I did the Aerobic/Gymnastic option. I’ve had nagging
on and off achilless tendonitis since last year and wanted to give it a little rest from jumping. 34:16
E. Done with 20# slam ball and black band, 25# KBs

okay so…
I have not been posting here my low back flared up again and hasn’t gotten much better. Ive been trying to follow the programming the best I could but I have been scaling a lot. I think I’m going to stop the programming for a little and focus on rehab for my back just because it hasn’t gotten any better and then come back strong.
really sad to say.

Sorry to hear that you are having back issue Jessica. Its good that you are really focusing on taking care of it so hopefully it isnt too long term of a deal.

I’m not really sure. I felt my back tighten up on deadlifts that were programmed on Saturday a while back and I stopped them once I felt it. my back was fine the next week. But after that week I felt it again warming up for cleans and it just hasn’t gotten much better since.

Good! Take care of that shoulder. Goblet squat or alternating jump lunges. Anything along those lines that gets your legs pretty good to replace the wall balls
