Today was a super solid session. Pissed I didn't PR my snatch ... I'm get really comfortable with pulling loads over 225# ... but just have a problem sticking them in the bottom. It is really pissing me off. Trying to stay positive that I can hit 225# on any given day though ... so hungry for more weight though. Soon. I felt extremely fit on the conditioning, it was fun as fuck. I love feeling this great and attacking the workout.

A.
Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
Snatch x 1 rep
Build by feel. Load should be secondary to perfect mechanics. If the rep isn’t technically perfect, do not add load.

-2 minutes @ 176#
-2 minutes @ 198#
-2 minutes @ 209#
-1 minute @ 220#
-1 minute @ 225#
-1 minute @ 236# (f)

-Hit 236# again and 242# twice. Failed all attempts... first 3 behind me, last one just couldn't lock out my right arm under the weight. Really frustrating morning. I figured missing behind me I just need to stick it out in the hole longer. I am more than strong enough to snatch 110/242 ... just need to finish better. Will get 242# and 250# this year ... soon. I'm really hungry for it.

B.
Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets):
Front Squat + Jerk
*Sets 1-4 – 75% (220#)
*Sets 5-6 – 80% (245#)
*Sets 7-8 – 85% (255#)
*Sets 9-10 – 90-95% (275# - 286#)

-Got under 275# well ... barely missed 286# in front of me. Felt much better jerking heavy this week than last week.

C.
Every minute, on the minute, for 30 minutes:
Minute 1 – 30 Double-Unders + 10 Pull-Ups
Minute 2 – 10 Burpee Box Jump-Overs (24″/20″)
Minute 3 – 12 Push Press (115/75 lbs)

-All reps unbroken except a few misses on double-unders. Felt really fit. Lungs/bodyweight stuff felt awesome. Really motivating for this year's Open!
