Labor Day Snatch PR

Thursday and Saturday I only had time for my weightlifting program. On Saturday I hit a Back Squat PR of 340#, everything else was just solid but no PRs. Sunday afternoon I did a snatch complex to work on technique. Then work to a heavy single at 185#, which I did in nanos (no oly shoes). Then 1 rep every 30 sec for 10 min at 145. 

 Monday (Labor Day) 

 First day back training with Hudson! 

 Snatch (blocks) - 2 reps @ 95, 135, 155, 155, 155, 155, 155 

 Back Squat - 6 x 6 @ 245 

 I know this isn't what my strength program called for, but I feel like I GOT BETTER today. In the end that's what it's all about. Hudson helped correct a technique flaw I had in my snatch, and once I corrected it I felt much more in control of the weight. 

 3 rounds for time: 
20 Wall Balls (20#) 
20 C2B Pull Ups 
6:10

 Wall Balls went better than I though, the c2b are what slowed me down. 

Got home and took a 30 minute break then decided to do something else before our Labor Day party. 

Snatch - Heavy Single 
75, 95, 125, 135, 155, 165, 185, 205 PR

 Snatch Pull - 4 x 3 @ 185 

 Good Morning - 3 x 5 @ 135 

 On the snatches I did about 2 to 3 singles at each weight just trying to practice what Hudson had corrected earlier this morning. I definitely feel like I do better with more volume. This PR was also set in Nano's. Flexibility is increasing little by little which is majorly helping with my lifts.

"Goodman" For time:  1 Clean and Jerk 225#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  2 Clean and Jerk 205#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  3 Clean and Jerk 185#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  4 Clean and Jerk 155#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  5 Clean and Jerk 135#  100 ft Sled Push 225#  14:28  I have never done sled pushes mixed with another movement before this. It was quite a quad burner. The sled pushes really slowed me down. The clean and jerks weren't really a problem; I went threw them fast every round. Turning the sled around was also a pain. Next time I do something like this I will just push the sled the full distance instead of stopping, turning around, and coming back.  Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1  135, 155, 185, 205(f), 225 I felt very unstable under the bar for some reason. It might be because I just did goodman, but I still need to work on it even if it was because I was fatigued.  5 rounds alternating with a partner:...

Legs feelin' quite Toasty

My legs are feelin' quite toasty today. Literally I can barely walk. I decided to take a rest day and try and recover by stretching out. Hopefully I can go at it hard tomorrow.   I hate taking rest days, because in my mind I feel if I'm not putting in work then someone else is and they are getting better when I am not. At the beginning of the year I made a promise to myself that I would be the hardest working crossfit athlete in the country. So far id have to say that has not happened; for many reasons. I started the year off with baseball which took quite a bit of time away from training. Then soon after baseball started I broke my hand, which put me out for about 8 weeks. NOW. . . I'm back full force and ready to kill it! I have treated this week as a getting back into it type week. Next week, I'm going to put my best foot forward and start training at 100%. I will be starting back up with the second phase of Smolov on Monday, and will continue to focus on b...
