  • Muscle Snatch: 2×60, 2×65, 2×70
  • Power Snatch: 3x2x75

I have grown to truly hate power snatches.  But the jerks were also off today.  I failed at 135 and was bummed out by that.  After the 3×1 EMOM I did of the drop sets, I was feeling pretty good, so I worked back up and was able to hit a few reps that I had missed earlier.  I think I need to add in a few more reps on the earlier sets to get warmer.

  • Clean DL + Muscle Clean + Press (1+2+3) x 3: 40, 45, 50, 55

    • 2×89
    • 2×104
    • 4x1x112
  • Clean pull (Controlled eccentric): 3x3x145
  • Clean DL: 3x2x157
  • Pause BS: 2@150, 4x2x160

I was extremely happy to make it through all of the programming today.  I have had some mental blocks lately so today was pretty big for me even though the numbers weren’t all that awesome.

CH18.W3.D5.1202

  • Muscle Snatch + Tall Snatch (1+2) x 3: 65#, 85#, 85#
  • Snatch DL + Snatch Pull + Hang Snatch to HS; Snatch 5×1@80% of HS EMOM
    • 105#, 135#, 155#, 175#, 185#, 191#x, 191#
    • EMOM: 165
  • Clean DL + Clean Pull + Hang Clean + Jerk to HS; CJ 5×1@80% of HS E:90
    • 175#, 215#, 245#, 276#, 295x (Missed hang clean)
    • E:90 @ 225
  • Accessory / Superset:
    • Strict press: 4x12x115#
    • Plank: 4×1:00

It felt good to work up to the numbers that I did on the complexes.  I worked higher on the snatch than expected and took bigger jumps with fewer reps than normal.  I am usually so confident in the CJ that I can take bigger jumps there, so doing the same thing with the snatch is another small victory.
