Snatch
Every 2:00 x 6:
Pause (:02 at 1″ off floor) Snatch
The bar is Deadlifted with a Snatch grip to 1″ off the floor and paused for a 2 count there before completing the lift. Sets across or build to a few medium heavy but perfect reps, the goal is zero misses. Stay over the bar from the floor through the mid-thigh, before finishing your pull vertically as in previous weeks.

Roose took his shirt’s advice with this successful attempt at Sunday’s Starting Strength Total. Be strong today!
REGISTER NOW FOR STARTING STRENGTH PROGRAM
Want to get a lot stronger? The Starting Strength program is an opportunity to spend 8 weeks with Coach Jeremy honing your technique and increasing your capacity at the most fundamental strength movements: Back Squat, Overhead Press, Bench Press and Deadlift. This small group format of 90 minute sessions offers one-on-one guidance, great camaraderie, and a simple roster of movements allowing you time to correct errors and challenge your limits.
Whether you are brand-new to lifting, someone with experience who has struggled to surpass a plateau, or just looking to try something different, by taking the time to focus exclusively on the lifts that support almost every other activity you do inside (and outside) the gym, you will gain confidence and enhance your performance.

Roose killed it! (What a treat to watch him add 30# to his deadlift PR!) As did Sabrina, Sarah, Fallon, Andrew, Larry, and Dave. Did I forget anyone? It was a small Total, so I hope I didn’t!
Glad I decided to come by instead of staying in on a wet Sunday.

and Stephen! of CFSBK IG fame yesterday… 🙂

Monday night NLWC!
HBBS: 10RM, +20 at same weight
153#, conservative starting point, moved fine
Press: 5RM, +20 at same weight
68#, very conservative, but want to be careful with the shoulders
Hip snatch: 15×2
Worked from 63-78#, took forever, very light but very sweaty
Snatch pull: 1×10 @ 65%, 6×3 @ 70%
Power C&J: 10×2
Worked up to 103#, jerks felt strong, but was dead beat by the time I got to these!
In the end, I feel really good about taking 2 weeks off for group class & travel. Brain feels ready to get back to it.
