Lift Off

Woke up pretty excited this morning to hit the DP! I knew Snatch was the strength and I was eager to work on some things I learned over the weekend. Went bed early in hopes to get a good night rest, but my little buddy had other plans with midnight interruption. I felt good and rested still though.

Strength
Snatch 3-3-3-3-3@63-70-77-85-93%
bar (5 pos) - 65 (5 pos) - 95 (3 pos) - 120 - 140 - 155 - 170 - 187 - 205
- I'm starting to feel like old man river. Everyone is usually on their 2nd or 3rd set by the time I'm starting my first. I'm having to rush through my last sets so we can start the WOD or I have to start later. Gotta get their a little earlier and hit the platform a good 10 minutes before everyone else.
- During the cert, Pat worked with me on my Snatch lift off and bar path during a break. I felt the difference in the changes instantly and how much smoother everything was on the light bar. I was very curious to how it feel over some weight today.
- First 4 sets went up real smooth. Had no problems getting on to my toes. Made every rep clean and they felt easy. I was excited to go to 205, but I lost everything in front. Bar came up easy still and I got under everything no problem, but just couldn't settle it in and lost them forward on two attempts. I used straps for the first two attempts and I felt the straps just weren't letting me set my shoulder back properly. Took em off for the 3rd attempt and made one rep and called it...I basically did the rep out frustration of the straps with no intention of doing all three because Cannons had already been waiting to start the WOD. I dropped a knee, but still stood it up. I think part of the reason as well was just weakness overhead still. Singles next week so I better figure it out.

WOD
500m Row
3 rounds of:
5 Ring Dips
10 T2B
15 Wall Balls
500m Row
= 9:53

- Pretty taxed before starting this WOD. I had to let Cannons start on her own so I could finish strength. I jumped in at 4:00. I rushed up to the rower right after my last rep of Snatch.
- First row was 1:51. Not blazing, just steady. All ring dips unbroken and strict. T2B were 8-2, 6-4, 5-5. Wall Balls I was hoping to do all unbroken. I felt fine, as I should, through all the rounds. I went unbroken, missed the 9th rep, missed the 6th rep. On each miss, the ball literally missed the wall. DOH!! I let it drop and picked it right back up and continued.
- Forgot to check the time on the 2nd row. I was more focused on making sure I finished under 10:00. Which I did barely, but I'll take it. That last row took a lot out of me.
- All in all...good day at the DP!!
