Funny Name for an Englishman, I Know
Clean-and-Jerk to a tough (but not 1RM) single
+
4 sets:
60 sec AMRAP turkish get ups (you pick weight, keep speed high)
rest 30 sec
60 sec AMRAP box jumps (24/20)
rest 30 sec
186 was my best clean AND jerk... I cleaned 198 but missed the jerk. Then we ran out of time. Did 4 tgu's per round with a 44# and 31/41/41/43 box jumps for a total of 160. I don't think I could have done the tgu's any faster even at a lighter weight while still hitting all the steps in-between. Maybe should have rolled with the 53 though.

Gasseous
Snatch tech work, 15 min
AMRAP in in 12 minutes:
25 jumping pull-ups
20 DB push-press (30/20)
Snatch work was all PVC pipe action... but a good overview. Nabbed 10 rounds on the met-con rx'd. Jumps were all "go." The presses gave me a little run. Good gasser.
Weight: 177.9 fully clothed/after dinner

B2. AMRAP pull-ups in 30 secs x 4 sets; rest 60
C. GHD sit-ups 12 x 5 sets; rest 90 sec
A. Took it easy due to back, stopped at 115... also noticed my snatch grip is more narrow than my "ideal" OHS grip. Prolly need to reconcile the two.

OLY-Mole
Snatch
1RM
60kg/132lb was my heaviest successful lift today... a few pounds under my PR. According to the fellas I'm not using my hips AT ALL. I'm initiating my second pull waaay to close to my knees which is keeping the barbell far forward. I got in some good volume at lower loads (40 and 55kg) to work on my timing. Left arm/elbow was lagging behind as well.
Did 100 double-unders after just for grins. Gotta get better at these so I timed myself... 3:43. I just need to relax when I do du's. I have a tendency to try and go entirely too fast.

Smile For the Camera
Power Snatch

Overhead Squat

Hang Snatch

Snatch
(Complete the entire complex without re-gripping)
Wow, legs were STILL sore today. Actually, my adductors are the only muscles still wrecked. I tried like heck to get them loose, but I suppose it will take a few more days still. I decided to focus on technique and after looking back on June's attempt at this complex kept everything at 115# or below. Think my sets were something like 95-95-105-110-115-115-95-95-95. I need to start catching video of myself if I want to get any better at this. I had a rep or two that felt REAL good... wish I knew what the difference in my form was.
Afterwards, I watched some of the boys pull some big weight on deads (around 220kg). They had bands attached to the pull-up bar above to help get the weight out of the pocket, but then as the bands retract the load gets heavier at the top of the movement. Snazzy.

Nine Ten
"Amanda"
9-7-5:
Muscle-ups
135# snatch
Scaled those darn snatches to an even 100# and they felt pretty good. Dave noticed my form and commented that I had several solid catches. Muscle-ups were def the limiting factor at this weight. Gotta say watching the big dawgs do this at 135 (and sub 7min) was more than impressive.
Total time was 9:10

W/G/M Mash-Up
With a continuously running clock:
5 minutes: obtain a heavy single on snatch
5 minutes: AMRAP of chest-to-bar Cindy
5 minutes: max calories rowed
From the first second of snatching to the last second of rowing, the clock does not stop.
1 round of Cindy: 5 chest-to-bar pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 squats
135+215+82=4325# PR on the snatch
Front Squat: worked up to 208x3, then 213x2, then 208x2
Press: worked to 120x3, then 130(f), then 125x2... Ugh

Early Morning Blah
Snatch
2-2-2-2-2
3 Rounds:
50 double-unders
25m lunge walk with 45# overhead
200m run
Ran with light loads on the snatches... never went over 105#. My shoulders were on blast from all the clean-and-jerk work yesterday.
13:02 rx'd on met-con... damn double-unders.
I'm starting to wonder if I should even come to 6am classes without getting a good night's rest... the mojo just is not there.

Blow Out the Candles...
27 Rounds for time:
1 Snatch, 95#
2 Handstand Push-ups
Another technique day, used 75# on las snatches and made it all the way through with 2 abmats on the HSPU's (this is a first for me). At the 20 min cut-off I had just finished my 20th round.
Used 1 pood kettlebells for the tabata shoulder torture after the WOD.
weight: 178.3, then I pissed and it went down to 176.3 FTL (literally)

Crazy Hazy Days
Well this is my first day back in the gym since I left town for the Larry Joe Taylor Music Festival and Chili Coook-off which was a 5 day drinking and eating marathon... not exactly the epitome of health. The WOD:
5-4-3-2-1
Snatch, 135 pounds
100m Sandbag carry
I went with 105# on the snatches and a full 100# on the sandbag run. This was a fun little number and I knocked it out pretty quickly. I think this was the most confident I have been thus far with my snatches, and know I could have done more weight (which is a great thing). I can't remember my exact time but I want to say it was 9 sumthin... guess my brain is still in an alcoholic haze.
