Booger

A. Front Squat @ 30X2: 5,3,2 (last set 100%); rest 4 min
B. Hang power snatch + overhead squat: 1 rep of each x 3 total reps x 5 total sets; rest 3 min
C. Coach's choice midline work

a. Did a short warm up due to time constraints but did 154x5, 176x3, 198x2, and 208x2 at tempo. Would have liked to do more at 5x and 3x. 

b. Did the barbell, then 88, 110, 110, 110, and 120. had a few reps where I went too wide on my receipt, but was aware of it. Noticed that when I trust myself and commit to a solid 3rd pull I put myself in a much better stance/posture to recieve the bar. When I lose focus and try to "muscle it up" is when I retreat under the bar way too soon and go wide with my feet (especially the right.) Snatch felt about as good as it's ever felt though. Still a booger of a movement.

c. We did ring plank holds building up to 3 min. 10 abmat situps for each break. I did 2:01 and 1:01 with 10 sit-ups.

On my own I did 5 rounds of 1:1 double-unders and rest for 1 minute. My counts were 70|58|70|62|48. Slowww progress.

Silly Saturday Snatch

Hang Snatch
3-3-3-3-3

4 rounds for time:
10 chest-to-bar pull-ups
15 ring dips
20 box jumps
25 air squats

Didn't realize how wrecked I was until I got to the box. Diane did her work well. So I took it very easy on the snatches. I did hang power snatches and never did more than 85#. In fact, I mostly did 5x75# and worked on "form" which I would say was almost acceptable. ALMOST.
The met-con I did rx'd and finished in 7:14. The ring dips were the limiting factor fo sho. 45 of them suckas was just BEAST. The box jump/squat couplet got the quads runnin hot too.

The Dude Abides

Snatch
2-2-2-2-2-2-2

I only went to 115# on these due to the hip. Then I knocked the weight back down to 75# and did 3 sets of 5 followed by 3 reps of 1xabmat hspu's.
We also had a lil box jump dessert where we did max jumps for 1 min then rested for 1 min, max jumps for 45sec then rested for 45, the same with 30 and 30, and then finally 15 and 15... we posted our total count. Mine was 124. That's 124 jumps in 140sec. Gotta get those 16sec back somehow.

King Turd Of Shit Mountain

Power Snatch
5-3-2-2-1-1-1

Topped out at 115#, dropped to 95#, then worked back up to 120#

Another less than spectacular performance... couldn't even pull 10lbs less than my last PR. I'll tell myself it was all mental/technique. Spencer did give me a big tip on my head position. I've got a bad habit of looking down at the floor when I do these movements which causes my upper body to drop too far forward and throws off the balance of the entire movement. The goal is to focus on a distant, fixed spot which would essentially immobilize my head/neck and allow for a neutral spine.

I'm also less comfortable with the power variation of the snatch, which I think is unusual. There's something about the quarter squat that throws off my timing and makes the receipt of the weight awkward. I also tend to pull the bar too high before dropping. During this particular WOD I kept bringing the bar at or above chin level. Not good. It's a shame I had so many problems with this WOD since after last week's snatch WOD I had gained considerable confidence with the movement. Guess that's CrossFit... on top of the world one day, groveling in the dirt the next.
