Workout of the Day

A.  Build to a heavy Snatch Balance over the course of 5 sets – doesn’t have to be a PR, just “heavy” for today.

B.  Six sets of:
Snatch x 1.1
(rest 10 seconds between singles)
Rest 2 minutes between sets

C.  For time:
Row 1000 Meters
30 Squat Cleans (135/95 lbs)
50 Burpees

A. 165

B. (Full Snatch) 135, 135, 145, 155, 165, 165

C. 12:50

I had difficulty sticking the receiving of the bar overhead on both the snatch balance and the snatch, but not getting the bar up there.  I really feel the additional power built up by all the front and back squats.  Once learn how to take advantage of it on my jerks, cleans and snatches (timing and better technique) I think I might be able to get some pretty good PRs
