Another frustratingly awesome Olympic Lifting class tonight.

Frustrating because every positive growth on a lift is immediately followed by the revelation of another, different flaw in said lift.

Awesome because I get better at the complex lifts with each class and learn more and more about what went wrong when I screw up a lift. And, since that happens all the time, it’s very helpful to have this knowledge!

The Lift:
Snatch

The Program:
3x
1 Hang Power Snatch @ 60% of 1RM
1 Power Snatch @ 60% of 1RM
75 lbs

3x
1 Hang Power Snatch @ 70% of 1RM
1 Power Snatch @ 70% of 1RM
95 lbs

3x
1 Hang Power Snatch @ 75% of 1RM
1 Power Snatch @ 75% of 1RM
115 lbs

Then …
8x 1 Hang Snatch High Pull
115 lbs

I am getting better and better but I’ll be damned if this isn’t the toughest lift (for me) to get down.

The Challenge:
12 burpees today ... 5 for the 5th day of the challenge and 7 from my having missed days 4 and 3. I may not get to count those but I want to do all the burpees ... for some ungodly reason!
