Did everything in one session and way out of order. Started with pc +s2oh+ Hspu metcon –11:17 Rx –Then hit 215 for power snatch+ oh squat. Hit 230 last Saturday at a comp for a pr. –Then 10-1 metcon 23:50 Rx. Anything over 15 minutes and my aerobic capacity just isn’t there. –Deficit Hspu 14″ and then my shoulders hit the plates. No idea how people do that weird shoulder rotation to go deeper. –hpc +fs + jerk 285# pr for hang power I believe. Failed 300 –10 rm 345# no idea how I hit this after 3 hrs straight… Read more »

It’s sometimes hard to measure progress on things like this Drew. But take it from me, your monumentally better than last year at them. I bet it takes you longer kipping last year. You’ve done the right work. It’s coming along.

I really hope it doesn’t take 2 years to get over this one like the chest to bars did. I can’t figure these out fast enough.

A. Built up to 215, that is a 10lb power snatch PR B. Used 135 in the wod, 20:09. I broke the snatches in half each set until the round of 5 then went UB (larger half first on odd numbers) tried to do the same with muscle ups but couldn’t go UB from 5 on. OHS were unbroken. Seriously underestimated how much it would tax my shoulders, triceps and traps for the MUs. I thought that would be the easy part. C. Skipped Session 2 A. Built up to 19″, it’s impossible for me to go any lower but… Read more »

Session 1)
Power snatch + oh squat
Hit up to 181 without a fail. Missed 186, would have been a 2# pr.

B) 10-1 at 110# 21:36

Got nasty.
Broke once on mu’s on rounds 10-6, 5 on, unbroken. Went unbroken on snatches and oh squats from 8 – 1. Tried to conserve early, which I think helped but my shoulders and upper back are fried. I think that’s the most mu’s I’ve ever done in a workout.

Do you use Kilograms when you lift? Hopefully next time you’ll be going home with a nice little power snatch PR!

Best advice when focusing on the power position is to pull the shit out of the bar. I know this is counter intuitive as we alway want you to pull yourself under the bar but the extra armful adds some elevation. Try it and see if it helps.

Session 2:
A. 5″ deficit
B. Just build to 135#, focusing on form and didn’t want to go too heavy.
C. 28:36. Used 125# because I wanted to dial in form as much as posted and this actually felt really great. felt like its the quickest I’ve ever worked through in these movements.
D. 180# for 10-RM
Overall felt pretty good. After session 1 I found my body actually craving more! Did session two about 1.5 hours from session 1.
