High Hang_Trapper

The High Hang Snatch focuses on speed under the bar from the top of the 2nd pull into the 3rd pull under the bar. It emphasizes a fast and powerful triple extension with a full finish of the shoulders and arms in the 2nd pull. The “high hang” position we prefer to teach is a dip with vertical hips and extremely shallow knee bend and fast dip followed by full extension and finish. Dropping down fast into a solid snatch position is key to avoid trying to “ride the barbell” down. (Watch the second rep in this video)

The conditioning WOD today paired a heavy OHS with hand release push-ups, which helped to fatigue the shoulders going into the squats. The goal was to use a weight for the OHS that allowed you to do sets of 10 or 2 sets each round. Watch Froning and Holmberg go head to head in this workout from a throwdown back in 2010.

Happy birthday Mums (Michelle)! You hate squats and cleans, but like pistols and snatches. Since we just snatched, I figured three out of four isn’t too bad.

“Did you mean to put that many burpees in?” Someone asked me that today. It really does suck to finish off each round with 35 of them. Maybe I should call them “Frownees”.

For you newbies, remember to track your WOD progress in your log books or you can do it online with beyondthewhiteboard.com and after you log your 100th, 250th, and 500th WOD you can buy your “club” shirt. Each level has a different design on the front with the number and our logo on the chest.

Just two numbers to remember today. No mid-WOD math required. 5’s then 9’s. After today the squats should take care of any residual soreness from Monday’s overhead squat-fest. The 9’s were just an effective gasser.

Here’s a good interview with one of my favorite Games athletes. Graham Holmberg In 2013
