Power Snatch
1-1-1-1-1
Max effort day. After a few warm up sets, attempt to set a new personal best on the Power Snatch. If you’re very new to the lift, then perform 5 heavy singles instead of a true max effort single. Focus on a strong and aggressive 2nd pull followed by an immediate and equally aggressive 3rd pull under the bar. No press-outs. Footwork should not get too crazy either.

The Power Snatch can be on the heavy-ish side today. However, you should still be able to do at least 3-5 reps per minute on the slow end.

Coach McDowell helped out with some much-needed barbell TLC this week. We’re in the process of wire brush scubbbing, oiling, and wiping down our whole fleet of barbells!
- Schedule Change: Today’s 2:00pm Anti-Gravity class is cancelled. Coach Ro is out of town for the week, so AG will resume on October 18th.

Iron Maidens Lift n’ Learn presents:
A Pelvic Floor Health Workshop
November 13, 2016 from 2:00-4:30pm
Do your hips ever feel a little unstable at the bottom of your squat? Are you fastidious about making a trip to the bathroom before that heavy Deadlift… because you learned the hard way? Do you sometimes feel pressure in your pelvis on a max set of 5?
The health of your pelvic floor is part of the equation here! Correct pelvic floor engagement is an essential, but often overlooked component of lifting, and everyday life.
This team taught workshop aims to shed light on what exactly constitutes the pelvic floor, how to strengthen it, and engage it under load. Our goal is to provide you with the tools to cultivate healthy pelvic floor function and prevent dysfunction.
You will walk away with:
- A basic understanding of pelvic floor anatomy
- Exercises you can do at home or as part of your warm-ups to engage and strengthen the pelvic floor, including breathing and bracing techniques
- An understanding of how to apply engagement under load
This workshop is for women only.
Limited to 25 participants
$75 registration fee
