      Weak…were these 1 armed or something?

  • Steve Slo

    WOD:
    10 rounds of Pull Ups (unassisted)
    5 rounds of HSPU (45lb plate and abmat)

    Snatch practice:
    I feel like I’m finally starting to get the hang of when to initiate the 2nd pull, which is exciting. I concentrated today on catching the bar at or very near the bottom of the squat.

    85lbs – No problems.
    95lbs – This became difficult after 4 or 5.
    100lbs – It took quite a while to get used to catching this weight at the bottom of the squat.
    105lbs – I managed to catch this weight two times out of ten, the other attempts were all power snatches or failed attempts.

    Overall… it was a good day.

  • Jay

    HSPU with 45# + 25# + 10# + abmat
