I think I'm going to get stuck at 185. I haven't snatched that much in over a year since I dislocated my knee

185 is my 1rm max. Hoping to get there
Well, I don't really like this workout. I can't do chest to bars, so I'm stuck doing the scaled. I'm 42 and the scaled workout is ridiculously easy. Jumping chin over the bars, and the squat snatch starts out at 45!
Got 65 reps. Gonna try again Saturday to see if I can finish that round and hit at least one snatch at 185.
This one is going to suck. I'm doing it tomorrow at noon, and heading to Napa Valley until next week.
Just arrived in San Diego after spending the afternoon in San Fran. It's like a completely different country.
My back locked up sitting in a chair yesterday. Been out of town for work, barely working out, so not real sure why my hamstring is so knotted up.
Laying on the floor of my gym trying to loosen up enough to go. May try again this afternoon.
My goal is to get thru 185 and at least snatch pull 225 once. That's a tall goal tho based on what I've watched this morning.

46 scaled. That was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
(Didn't help that my coach thought we all needed to warm up with about 40 light snatches to start)

43 reps Rx. So pissed off. I don't know why I couldn't get it together on 135. Probably won't have a chance to retest either.
136 Scaled.
I don't care. I'm ok with that number.

Doing it tonight and not looking forward to it. I haven't squat snatched in a very long time. And at 6'2" and 177 lbs, this workout is not even close to being in my wheel house. Oh well, I'll know what I need to work on after tonight.
This is my concern. 135 is just enough of a snatch that it could decide to give me trouble, and I won't be able to redo it.AgEng06 said:

23:53 Scaled

Was surprised I finished.

I'm good with the 135 on snatch, but catching it in a squat is a different ball game.
This is me too. I can power snatch 135, but the squat gets me.
55 rx
Surprised myself
It was a struggle with 135 and had a few no reps but i completed it with enough time to do the 7 c2b
Will definitelt get more monday

56 RX. 4:00 tie breaker.
I'm definitely going to retest. Went out slow thinking I would have more problems with 135 than I did.

70 Rx with a 2:52 tie breaker. That was nasty.
I feel you. That adds a lot to it.
Edit: ignore the emoji please. My thumb accidentally hit that one.

69 reps RX.
Bummed that I was 3 reps shy of time extension. Last round of 7 C2B and my motor gave out.
To retest or not to retest ... only time will tell.

67 Rx. That 8 mins goes by so fast. Didn't miss any of my snatches so idk where I lost time. Not doing butterfly doesn't help either. Retesting Sunday morning
167 Scaled. My one rep max for squat snatch was/is 135. Happy to have gotten 3 of them at the 18-19 minute timeframe.
44 Rx. Could only get one of those 135s.
Just retested at 44 reps. My first time to hit 135. I'm happy with that.
Very similar situation for me. Unfortunately unable to retest though
Anyone retesting today? It crossed my mind and I quickly shut it down as soon as my hands hit the pull-up bar. So tender.
Quite possibly this afternoon. We'll see how I feel after work.
108 scaled. I was pretty disappointed. I can't do chest to bars, but I thought I would blow through the jumping pull-ups. They took a lot more out of me than I thought. Oh well. On to 17.4.
Sidebar: anyone doing the northwest houston open weightlifting meet this On April 8? I'm thinking of participating. It'll be my first oly meet.
Just retested.
71RX 3:04 tie breaker. A nice improvement form my original score. The lightbulb kinda clicked for me on the squat snatches too, so I was happy with it.
but friggin' 1 rep short of getting to 185 round!

Also- I haven't ripped in 8 weeks. I started taking care of my hands with the wod welder hand care kit and it has made a huge difference.
