Snatch Grip Deadlift (on a riser)

3-3-3-3-3



We used 25# plates as risers. I suppose just to increase the ROM and add some variability to programing. Worked with Tolbs and did my last full set of 3 with 225... did a set 0f 2 at 255.

Then came interval Nancy which is 4 rounds for time of:
400m run
15 overhead-squats @ 95#

Did it rx'd and got: 2:51,3:17,3:41,5:41! Those times are a strong indication of how much hurt Helen put on me the day before. FTMFL

Grip That Snatch And Pull

Today's WOD was 10 rounds for time of:

5 185# snatch grip deadlifts
4 jumping lunges
3 handstand push-ups

We did a short warm-up then started on the deadlifts working up to a heavy set of 3. I topped out at 265#. On these snatch grips I gotta remember to get my hips lower than norm AND especially lower than my shoulders. Also, on ALL deadlifts I gotta work on synchronizing my hips and shoulders so that they come up in unison. My shoulders have a tendency to come up early. I did a 1 rep max snatch grip deadlift in February (02/16/09) and pulled 285# so a 3 x 265# ain't too shabby. That's 93% of my max pulled 3 times.

On the WOD I used two abmats on the hspu's and made it through all 30 reps. This is a personal best. The jumping lunges were just silly. My total time was 8:49.
