    Every one needs to snatch so today everyone is a Big Dawg. Lots of vids on how to do this on the CrossFit Journal.
    http://journal.crossfit.com
    Look up “Olympic Lifting” or “Burgener”.

    I would add that if you don’t have a subscription to the CrossFit Journal (and really you should, it’s well worth it), you can also check out o-lifting videos on crossfit.com for free right here:

    Any who has done Wendler’s 5-3-1: Would you recommend trying this program out? Have you seen major gains while you have or had been training on this program? I have been lifting for a while and have decent numbers though I don’t think that I am progressing much at this point. I think I need a more structured approach.

    Last reps were really wobbly and not quite as deep as they should be. But happy nonetheless. Thanks Mike and Keller for your help!
