Snatch this!
As many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
7 Power snatches (Men 95 lbs, Women 65 lbs)
7 Chest to bar pull-up
My rounds: 5 + 4 snatches - kipping plu
Ah, snatches! It's easy to love them when they're light weight power snatches, right? If I could've just done 10 minutes of power snatches I'd have been perfectly happy with that as a workout. I know back during The Open I talked all big about working chest-to-bar pull ups all year, but today I did only two or three and decided I'd be better off doing kipping in the WOD. So I kipped. I still need to work c2b.
I am, however, making a concerted effort to do a few strict pull ups in the warm up every day. I figure if I get better/stronger at those I am building strength that can only help the kip and chest to bar pull ups. Plus, B makes strict pull ups look SO freakin' easy, I'm totally in awe of her, and I wanna be just like her when I grow up. Ha ha!
Strength today was overhead squats
5 ea @ 55-65-70-75-80
Feeling the soreness from the previous three days, mostly in my shoulders. Knees felt pretty decent today - I even skipped the knee sleeves.
I'm ready for Friday - Bring it on!!
