3-Position Halting Snatch Deadlift
Rest as needed

For this exercise, you will employ a 1-2 second pause at three separate points: (1) 2″” off the floor; (2) the knees; and (3) mid-thigh. The purpose is to pause and hold your IDEAL position at each of these points, so don’t let your ego and the load get the best of you. Keep your lats tight and pay attention to the distribution of weight through your foot at each point to ensure you’re performing this correctly.

Oh no Debbie! At least it isn’t during Games week! Prioritize getting healthy and taking care of yourself for these next few days!

AM
A. Built to 185# working on keeping tension in the bar for a better finish and really happy with how today went!
B. 6:04 for Amanda. This was a 1 min PR from last year. Felt really good!! I definitely went conservative in pacing to focus on tighter position in MU.
C. Done
PM
A. Death. Mostly 8 cal each time, a few 9s and 1 10 cal interval for a total of 200 calories.

Thanks Matt. I think this is a 45s PR from the last time I did it in our master qualifier a few years ago. Lately I’m worried about the things I’m not so good at. HS walks. HSPU. etc. I’d like to call and discuss nicole’s reply on transitions so I can practice those our next swim day.

Hotel WOD today because I slept in after travel nightmares yesterday! Walked into the swanky hotel gym and grabbed some dumbbells and found a corner 🙂 Warm up – done A. Kalsu using 35# DBs – 11:45 was trying to stick with 10 per minute, but fell off a bit in the middle. B. DB raises and holds – done with 5#…one day I’ll make it through all of it without having to stop… C. Glute Bridges and FLR – done, used a random 105# curl bar, used round DBs instead of rings. D. Finished with 2×50 UB Handstand Shoulder… Read more »

A. Worked up to 175. I skipped the halting snatch dl because one side of my back feels really tight when I pull off the floor today.
B. 4:08
C. Done. Tried the 5lb dbs but didn’t make it so switched to 2.5’s.
Pm
Kept all sets above 70 rpm, (183 cal) But wussed out and took minutes 10 and 16 off to rest. These 30 sec intervals just crush me.
