How to set a PR
Without knowing it...I've set 2 PR's this week. I think the trick to setting a PR is to really not even know what your PR is, and just lift as heavy as you possibly can. Then, later when you find out it's a PR, you're totally surprised. Ha! I'm sure this is not really a good strategy, but it's worked this week.
Anyway...
I'm just about ready for a vacation! 57 days to go on my countdown. We are heading to Turks & Caicos islands this time. Hoping we love it, and I'm sure we will. What's not to love about a beautiful island?
So today's strength, wherein I unknowingly set a PR, was Hang Power Snatch
rep scheme: 5-3-2-2-1-1-1
my loads: 45-50-55-60-70-80 (PR) - 90 (f)
I tried the 90 because I didn't have a clue 80 was a PR, so why not? Ha! I didn't get anywhere near the speed through the middle that I needed to get under the 90#.
WOD:
3 Rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
21 Hang power snatch (75#,55#)
12 chest-to-bar pull-ups
My time: 18:39
Obviously, if you know me, you know I didn't do chest to bar. I did kipping. And slowly. I tried a chest to bar in the warm up and got the height, no problem, but did not actually touch my chest to the bar. Need to work on that - I know they'll be in the Open next spring.
