Thursday May 31

Continued my little mini streak of doing stuff I absolutely hate..

Never gonna get better unless I try. I made up the WOD from yesterday because it looked like a good test.

Snatch Balance Practice.

I did a bunch of reps at 45 to get used to dropping, 95x3, 115x2, 135x1, 145x1, 155 (fail)


 

You will notice a continuous pattern in these.
A) I suck at snatch balances.
B) I am sort of ghost-riding them half way down.. Like I dip and drive, try to get under, and I am just flat out not fast enough to beat the bar all the way to the bottom with heavy weights..

After I failed 155, I went back down to 115 and felt MUCH better, I was hitting the bottom of the squat quickly and standing it right up with control.. I need to work on the shoulder stability more than anything, but the timing came around at the end.. oh well..

WOD
"1 Minute On, 1 Minute Off"
4 Rounds
Max KB Swings 2 pood
Rest
Max Sit Ups
Rest

Total = 233 Rx'd

Yikes..  Somehow the sit ups were worse than the heavy ass KB swings.. go figure..

I was able to maintain pretty good consistency until the 4th round where it went to hell.
I averaged about 26 KB Swings for the first three rounds (I think 28, 24, 25) and about 35 sit ups for those rounds as well. Then I fell apart and got 22 and 30 for the final round.. Core was GASSED..

The rest was enough to help, but not enough to make me fully recover for the end. It was mostly mental to just stay on the KB and the sit ups you just had to try to keep moving. I suck at doing sit ups fast.
