The Snatch Grip Deadlift is not a normal deadlift with a slightly wider grip. This deadlift is meant to reinforce the 1st pull off the ground of the snatch. It should have the same setup as a snatch but use a deadlift tempo. When you settle in you should set up at the bar as if you intend to snatch, meaning snatch grip, lower hips with a lower back angle and different knee position (vs. your deadlift setup). Ideally you use a hook grip and keeps those lats tight as you push through the floor through the middle of your feet.

The WOD today was the first WOD of the 2010 Northwest Regionals; a nasty short couplet that taxes the lungs. I’ll never forget this WOD at that Regionals, especially Chris Spealler doing this in under 3 minutes. At that time he weighed 135 lbs. and completed 30 bodyweight overhead squats and 150 double-unders in less than 3 minutes.

Mark trains with the sled for Regionals:
Saturday was the Maltz Challenge Memorial WOD to honor DEA agent and USAF Pararescueman MSG Michael Maltz who was killed in Afghanistan in a helicopter crash on 3/23/2003. Having run this once a year, yesterday was the first time I programmed it as a team version rather than just solo and the Half Maltz.

Want that muscle-up? Then you need to practice. A lot. Of everything. Strict pull-ups, dips, chest to bar pull-ups, transitions, kipping swing, false grip… you get the point. You have to put the time in, be patient and work at it. You can’t skip the strict pull-ups and the deep ring dips and expect to jump on the rings and knock them out.

“Christina“:
“Christina Taylor Green was born on September 11, 2001. She died in another public display of violence on January 8, 2011. She was shot in Tucson, along with 19 other people, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Five victims died at the scene. Of the six fatalities, only Christina died at the hospital. Her uncle Greg Segalini said she took a bullet in the chest. The 9-year-old girl had accompanied a neighbor to the “town hall” event in a supermarket parking lot because she wanted to meet Gabrielle Giffords. Christina was newly elected to the student council at Mesa Verde Elementary School.
This WOD will be done in memory of Christina. The 6 movements in the workout represent how many people died as a result of the shooting, 9 reps for each movement represent Christina’s age. Let’s try and make it to this WOD in support of Christina, her family, and the other victims of the shooting. ~ CrossFit Maximus“
