9-9-5-5-3-3 reps of:

Snatch

Check out a decent video of the snatch (this is a full squat snatch). 

NOTE:  if you've never done the snatch before, then spend the time learning movement at lower weights until you get solid form.  This is NOT a move you want to rush to failure on - your shoulders will not be happy!

Rx for today: snatch or power snatch??

jswobe - snatch from the ground

ugh, today was uninspiring!

I need A LOT of work on my technique. First time in a long time that I have to register a DNF (did not finish). I did a set of 9 with the bar, but after that the wheels completely fell off, I lost focus, and I wasn't able to get back on track.

Thanks to Matt for the great demo and progressions.

Aloha,

Snatch = squat snatch unless otherwise stated or indicated.

65-75-85-95-105-115

I have been doing Bergerner warm-up everyday. It works. The PVC pipe is more important than you think. This is the best I've done on snatch.

I did snatches, not power snatches. Call off the CF police...

This was a great WOD. As bad as high rep cleans are, I think snatches may be worse. 9 reps...twice?? Sadism, I say...

WOD:
65, 80, 95, 105, 115, 125

Bonus:
1 x snatch @ 135 (PR)

I agree w/ Matt; the Bergener warm-up is a great skill builder. I hit it 3-4 times per week as part of my warm-up.
