Today was a pretty solid session. My overhead strength felt a little weak from yesterday, but overall still a good session. Back was a little agitated from the snatch dead-lifting... didn't hurt at all squatting though, but I didn't push the weight on squatting at all, just went for good movement. Frustrating... but I'm pumped to train tomorrow!

A.
Every two minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Hang Power Snatch (mid-thigh) + Power Snatch @ 80-85% (180-190#) of 1-RM Snatch

-All reps done at 187#, felt solid on everything.

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):
3-Stop Halting Snatch Deadlift @ 95-105% of 1-RM Snatch
(Pause for 3 seconds at each of the following positions: mid-patella, mid-thigh, “pockets”/high hang)

-Complete @ 242#

C.
Every 2 minutes and 30 seconds, for 20 minutes (8 sets):
Back Squat x 4

-All sets done at 225#... weight was extremely easy, just feeling things out.

D.
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
6 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
18 Russian Kettlebell Swings (2 pood)

-4 Rds + 6 HPSU ... HSPUs felt like ass... shoulders smoked.

E.
EMOM 10:
1 Snatch Push-Press (225#)

-Complete, haven't done these since leaving the states on July 6th. The only gym that had jerk blocks was in Sweden, but I didn't get the chance to use them. I attribute a lot of the PRs I've hit overhead to incorporating this lift into my training. Going to be hitting this all year. Felt alright, right arm had a little trouble locking out, will be spending some time with the lacrosse ball this week.
