  • Mix up of: Shoulder Press, PP, PJ with bar, Roll outs on wheel front and sides x 10, Work on triple unders, weighted Pistols holding KBs and dumbells Workout

    Fun to mix things up this morning. I was really sore and tired. I was feeling it in my legs from yesterday's Open 15.3 WOD.
    I decided to mix things up and to work on a few things I never work on such as triple unders and weighted pistols.
    I did 3 reps of each: press, push press, push jerk (bar,75,95,105,115)
    Roll out on wheel x 10 (3 front, 3 right side, 3 left side, 1 front) - super big ROM is important and to stay tight at entire ROM
    Work on Triple Unders. I got a few but need to keep at it. I also need to work on handstand walking as well.
    I tried to work on Pistols and weighted pistols. I used: 10 kb,15 kb, 20 db, 25 kb

    Good workout over all.
    Stretched for a few after the workout.

  • Modified Open 15.5. Workout

  • Hang Clean 1 rep max (1RM) Strength

    Find your best Hang Clean for the day.

    Record load, style (power, split, squat), and other details.

  • Snatch technique practice + Annie post WOD Workout

    Snatch technique workout.
    Work on sets of around 5 reps.
    Pull to high hang, then dip below knees to get used to clearing the knees and staying over the bar.
    Pull right into a full squat snatch each rep.
    Focus on hitting hips, opening up and really exploding with hips and keeping the bar close to the body with high elbows. Do NOT pull with arm. Pull myself under the bar and into the squat bottom position.

    Post WOD:
    Annie for time (50-40-30-20-10 of DUs and Situps)
