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.

Weight: 169.8

-mostly 2 x jumping dips, started with a few b.w.
-did 21 HSPU with 2 mats, got wrecked, then finished the 2nd and 3rd rounds with
the infamous prison showers
-reg push-ups were a breeze... riiiiight

This was the first time I've done jumping ring-dips... usually I would use a red band. I thought that the jumps would help me keep a more natural body position and provide for a greater ROM, but my legs did much more of the work than I would have liked and in the future I'll use the band to keep the emphasis on my weak lil deltoids.

This was the best I've done on the hspu thus far... still plenty to work on though
