I hate this movement.. The balance, timing and flexibility required to make it "pretty" still baffles me after doing this stuff for so long. I have gotten more consistent with the molds I need to place my body into to make this lift with light weights, but with heavy 1 rep efforts, I still struggle, especially compared to what someone of my size/weight should be able to do.
I warmed up with 75 and 95 lbs for a while just trying to get a feel for the bottom of the squat receipt of the bar.. I still feel like I am leaning my torso too far forward even when I make the lifts.
I ended up completing: 115, 125, 135, 140 (PR), 145 (fail)..
I have power snatched 140 before, a long time ago, and can do 135 30 times in "Isabelle", but I have never really tested my 1RM for what would count as a legal snatch in competition (power, squat, or somewhere in between).. My "30 reps" really turns into a press-out really quickly when the clock is running.. But this is the heaviest I have ever completed a squat snatch to full depth which was cool... I really think I am capable of a lot more, just need to drill drill drill..
WOD- "Bush League"
EMOTM 10
4 Burpees
6 OHS 75#
8 Ball Slams 20#
There was no score involved in this, just get the work done. I finished almost every round between 39 and 42 seconds, so the work:rest ratio was about 2:1 which was my intention when I programmed this WOD in the first place.. (Similar to Tabata stimulus on the body)
Looking forward to resting tomorrow, I need it.
