Power Snatch_Jeremy

Tough week so far! If you felt weaker/slower than usual squatting or running today don’t be surprised. Filthy Fifty plus Snatches plus the heat from this week will do that to you. Be glad it was only two half mile sprints.

Hey Dylan stop smiling and start squatting.

Split Jerk

Read up on the Split Jerk and how to avoid the push or dive forward. Remember to maintain a vertical line with your torso on the dip which is key to avoiding pushing out front. Drive the hips under the bar and the feet agressively into the split as you push the bar up and over your head to just behind your neck for a strong finish.

Snatch_Kelby

Weightlifting day today! These are FULL snatches and cleans with push or split jerks. When you see either “snatch” or “clean” without “power” in front of it then it means full squat (hang included). This strength specific day still requires you to plan your time wisely and work on both lifts. It also forces you to have to move on while you still have something in the tank after snatching. Hitting a heavy clean and jerk after a max snatch is pretty taxing. Time flies even without a checkout. For everyone who hit a PR congrats. After the past two days of workouts and the heat it was great to see so many people near their PR or hitting a new best.

Today was also Jon’s goodbye WOD (he’s moving east to CO). Best of luck to you in your new state and be sure to come back in next time you have to visit Washington. We hope you find a great affiliate. As for everyone else none of you are allowed to move! Michelle and I (and the coaching staff) are tired of teaching you to snatch and clean only to have you move away…

So Jon came in and paid his burpee penalty right away for leaving a barbell out last night. The penalty was each like posted to the Facebook picture of his bar = 1 burpee. 79 or so burpees make for a good warm-up!
