Snatches Anyone?
We were having some problems with all of the snatch and O-lifting technical work we’ve been doing recently. The biggest problem I think was if you are just practicing the snatch for a lifting session and not going heavy you might not feel like you got a very effective workout the next day. From now on there will be other options so you can get a better stimulus, snatch work will be for people with a full range of motion in their joints as well as a good strength base. Today we had power cleans with the option of working on snatches, nobody chose the snatch work. That’s just because power cleans are awesome though.
After we had Tabata squats, which works well after a lifting session. Only four minutes required so you have plenty of time to focus on your lifts as well as rest time. If you ever don’t have time to make it into the gym Tabata squats is an awesome workout you can do anywhere, all you need is a watch. Nice job everyone who tried weighted Tabata squats, as well as Lisa and Kendra who did baby carry squats. Very entertaining to watch, and the kids love it too.
Who is that hottie in the picture? Good looking redhead who O-lifts? Too good to be true.
Hey buddy, YOU saw her first! Yea great form and extension Lisa! On a sad note, I do not think I will be able to compete this weekend. I have morgage issue with my fathers estate and two papers to write. Im currently trying to find a way however. The timing of everything just sucks! Morgan, gan you bring the jumprope with the green handles just in case
If I dnt make it up there I want to wish everyone my best!
Ah…aren’t you two just so cute!
Good luck to everyone competing this weekend! I will be there in spirit rooting for t-town. It’s a good thing I’m not competing because I’m dealing with a nasty case of the stomach flu. So, the thought of doing any type of WOD right now (let alone 5 in two days) doesn’t sound appealing at all.
I’m excited to hear all about it!! Good luck!
Hey now….dont I green box for the most reps with the heaviest weight? Why else would I join in on the fun with you crazies?
