Thursday (last night):
Snatch 55#. After chatting with Pierre about the technical nature of the snatch, I realized I need to go into Thursday workouts strictly thinking about technique, and not worrying about staying in the 50# range. This will make it more fun, I think.
OHS: 62# 3×3. Could have gone heavier!!
Burpees: 7 the first 4 rounds, 6 the next 3, 8 last round
Saturday (8am):
FS: 3×3 107.5… Thought I was going to 110, but this was the right move.
fitness wod: 11:02. white KB/russian, 14# ball/8ft target–>lazy?, 20in box. All unbroken.
Thursday, 6:30 w/ Whit & Ro. Kept it light, working on form. Back and hip feel very tight but OK.
Fitness snatch complex at 63#. Did maybe 6 or 7 here. Ro helped me a a bit with keeping the bar close to me on the snatch pull. I liked snatching from the mid-hang.
OHS 3×3 @ 78
-All the work I've been doing on my hips and thoracic spine seems to be paying off. I was able to stay more upright than I ever have before in my OHS. Felt very comfortable at the bottom. Granted, this is light, but hopefully I can build on these positions from here.
Friday:
Second half of a very scaled comp workout with Joe and Brendan:
3×3 Front squat @ 121.
-I was supposed to do 4×3, building up. Had some discomfort on the third set so skipped the fourth. Figured it was better to stay light to day than to build up.
Some very slight deficit hspu in between each. I couldn't get it together on these today.
Conditioning
15 push press (75)
9 muscle ups
12 pp
7 mu
9 pp
5 mu
I think I did this in 8 something? I am not really sure. First time doing a workout with a barbell movement in a long time. The push presses felt hard and I had a little trouble getting into a really solid position at the top. Muscle-ups also felt hard today!
10 am with Noah and McDowell. I did Thursday's snatching with McDowell. I worked up to 115#. These actually felt pretty good today-relatively quick and well balanced. 3×3 ohs at 105. I have room to go up in weight, but I wouldn't call these easy.
The tabata burpee cashout was fun. I did 52 reps, which beat my previous PR by 12. So hooray for that.
According to the test, I have the fitness level of an "under 20 year old"…which is dope considering my 29th bday in two weeks.
Huge 8 AM class today! Fun to squat with beast Linda and Alex.
HBBSQ, 170x3x3. I think I can take one more 10# jump before I go to 5# increases.
Performance rep scheme on the WOD, but subbed air squats for wall balls. I kept the Rx weight for the KB but did Russian one-armed swings. 15:49. Air squats are much easier than wall balls. 😛
Fun 8am class with McDoah
FSQ: 45×3, 95×3, 135×3, 155×2, 165x3x3
This moved well. Will add 5lbs next week.
Perf WOD: 19:49 rx'd
This was a tough one. I ended up doing step ups on the box jumps for the rounds of 40 and 30. Thanks to Stella for the encouragement to push through at the end.

Margie said I am not supposed to count reps on this at all, so I didn't, as much as it killed me not to!!!
Definitely harder than last week because of soreness but still felt good!
So awesome to lift with my gym wife Serene; it had been way too long!
Alright happy fourth, you guys!!!
Good times with Ro today. Messing around 90-95% on lifts in preparation for max out next week.
Worked up to #114 (ish) snatch PR–solid and fairly easy
#155(ish) clean
#185 2RM BSQT
love working in KGs cause I have no clue what's on the bar and can just focus on lifting while Ro tells me to put _____ on the bar.. My biggest issue is the muscle between my ears. Of course, will work on barithmetic next cycle but….for now… I enjoy being surprised by every lift I make 🙂
