Time to Pull

Monday Workout, CFC @ 7:00pm:

Worked up to a 1RM full squat snatch. Haven't really done full squat snatches above a very light weight of #95, but my 1RM power snatch is around #150.

Worked up to #140, failed #145x2.

Was content with this for now, especially since the last few attempts felt a bit rushed in order to get the attempts in before the 15 minutes were up. While I still have a bit of a hitch between my two pulls, I'm getting better at eliminating most of it. I also am learning to better aggressively pull the bar up instead of just pulling slowly. My two fails were due likely to me shorting the pull, as I felt I didn't extend all the way. As the weight increased, I wanted to get under the bar as fast a possible but didn't open up all the way, which resulted in the miss. A ton of things to think about on the snatch, but it sesms the trick is to not think about it so much and let the muscles do their work.

Metcon:
For time,
400m run
25 KB swings (2 pood)
50 double unders
400 m run
25 KB swings (2 pood)
50 double unders
400 m run

Time: 9:52

Should have been in the 8:00-min range, but tripped up way too many times on the double unders, which are a strength. Don't know if it was fatigue or a short rope, but messed up more than 10 times when it should have only been a handful at most. Was chasing Cameron out the door on the last run, and made up for it on the last 400 m--good battle. KB swings were broken once each set, 18-7 / 17-8. I actually hit the runs pretty hard, especially the last one. Not the best performance due to the spotty double unders, but still got it sub-10.
