Legs very sore from pistols. Worked up to 90kg snatches before hand and was very dizzy after each lift. Tried the workout a little earlier than norm and didn't eat, I think I need tweak a few things. I didn't had 'It' this morning and kept reminding myself during the workout but it turned out alright. Unit, I've been laughing about that early morning incident in my garage. Then you had to mention it 2 minutes before go time. The look on our faces as were wiping the sleep from our eyes was priceless!

The last time I worked on my power snatch 95#s seemed impossible. I got it up once, but it was very difficult. I got it up 18 times today and it felt great! Thanks for the great programming Coach! Looking forward to getting stronger.
Brent, Unit....Good Times!!!...Ya, I had a little pep in my step that morning....must have been the 3 cups of coffee on empty stomach.....and the fact that I didn't have multiple workouts the day before. haha!!!

Can't believe I used 83....never done more than 65 in a snatch wod! They actually weren't bad though,and I actually power snatched 93 a few times(never done that before) before was just afraid they would have gotten ugly and muscly very quickly! Struggled with C2B as usual but they have gotten tons better than last time this year, and made sure chest really touched every rep! Wallballs weren't bad they let me make up some time!
Nice time Laura!!

adrenal recovery plan seems to be working. In addition to limiting the wods I've been taking adaptogens; Eleutherococcus senticosus, tulsi tea, and phosphatidylserine. sleep is better, and energy more consistent throughout the day. beginning to realize just how poorly i had been feeling.

1st round- Unbroken

3rd round- broke snatches, pullups, and wallballs
( cannot believe I broke this set. I wasn't mentally tough and lost focus) Grip and pulling power was very fatigued. Great WOD..Snatch got heavy, which sort of surprised me.
Great job JZ,- my goal was sub 6, you made that happen! SOLID WORK..

I wish I had some good reasons for being so slow but I don't. The snatches were actually the best part. The CTBs were a wreck and the wall balls weren't any better.
Been getting in most of the work during the week - but behind on my posts. Here is a little catch up session:
Tuesday P2 (did KBS+row, Burpees+row)
1:17 - 1:45
Wednesday Tester

Thursday P2
1:53 - 1:58
Had a very busy week and got most of the wods in - just always a day behind :)
Did part 2 wod from thursday yesterday, but subbed rowing for running, consistent at 1:30. I could barely move on thursday from the pistols!
Today

My 1RM power snatch is 85 so I worked at 75 today and it was really challenging. The CTB were very tough, singles in the last round.
To all the gals who did the snatch at 95 - you inspire me and I can't wait to catch up. Thank you....

Was done with two rounds in about 4 minutes, several snatch failures...spent 3+ minutes on that 3rd round of snatches.
Disappointing as I am confident I should have been around 7 minutes. I think a big part of it was mental, and a small part was due to a lot of missed workouts over the last 3 weeks due to some injuries.

no pop today, snatches were a struggle from round 1 and once my heartrate was up they weren't happening... may be because i made up thursday's wods yesterday. time to rest up...

Asterisk on this one. Pullup bar bolts came loose on my second round and the bar started rotating. Tried to continue but wasn't happening. Buddy stopped the clock while we tightened the bolts, then picked back up. Probably gave me an extra 60-70 secs rest at least, so that time isn't legit at all. Will plan on redoing it this week, think I'll be around 8 mins.

Done at globo so I was very timid on the snatches. Had to wait for the pullup bar in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. No biggie. Patience training.

At 1:30 after 1 round. Then hit the wall. Subbed 20# per hand dumbell thruster for wall ball. Feeling like my body needs a break, not sure what to do with the open so close.
@Casey thanks! And congrats to you. You know one of the best things about this blog is that you can celebrate those little bench marks with people that "get it".
@JMarsh ,you are a beast!
@Becky, good to see you back.
2 rounds in 5:50, then shut it down
Caught stomach flu from kids...nausea last night and this morning. No food since last night and it showed. Probably only 70% today. Good night sleep and will try this again soon.

First round went well and unbroken and then the 2nd and 3rd round got tough and broke at the ctb and wall balls. Had to go to an Autism Fundraiser even the night prior and didn't get in until 2am so had no rest what so ever but thats still no excuse for the slow time. Plan on getting at it hard this week and staying focused.
had someone's bachelor party this weekend so I did it today (sunday) after driving two hours and finding some cookies throughout the weekend at the party.
Felt awful.

Hi! I'm new to this site and have loved(kinda hated....but in a good way) the workouts!
I cannot for the life of me get better at snatches...any tips? I can OHS well over BW, and clean BW, but my snatch maxes out at 85. And with that form is awful.
10:13 with 75# snatch first time, 65# the other two.
