Took a little longer to get warm than I was planning on. Never really was able to get a good sweat started, but had to get moving since I was on a time constraint this morning.
Snatch Balance 5 x 2
Bar (progressions) - 95 - 115 ---135 - 155 - 175 - 185 -
- Didn't really have any percentages going in on this one. With singles coming up this week, I really just wanted to work on stabilizing the shoulder at some heavier weight. Plan was to work up to the heaviest double possible. I had no pain in my shoulder this morning, but I just could not get the stupid thing to loosen up and sit back. I battled to get back on my heels all morning because of the shoulder tightness and not wanting to dump the rep. The first rep was fine, but the second rep was the one that kept giving me problems. ARRGGG!
- On the drive home I was kicking myself for continuing to go up in weight. I should have settled in around 155-160 and just worked on being solid. Gotta get smarter!
Snatch Pulls 5 x 2
205 - 205 - 225 - 225 - 245
- Used straps so I could focus on my lift off and clearing the knees to get back into power position. I intended to work up to 105% of my current max. I over shot that a bit, but everything felt okay. All reps felt solid. Tightness in my left hip from yesterday's lunges made it a little uncomfortable to really set at the bottom. First rep I could feel slightly rounded coming off the floor. Lowering the weight for the second rep definitely helped settle in more.
Time ran out for back squats. Bummer!! Today was bittersweet! Work is work.
On a side note...with the urging of a friend and the blessing from my wife I registered for the CF Football competition that is coming up in a couple of weeks. It's basically "Meathead meets Crossfit"...sounds like fun! Who wants to join me?
