Hang Snatch, 3 sets x 3 reps - using 50% of recent 1RM Snatch. Rest as needed. + For time: 1-10 Overhead Squat Ladder - 110# + Knees to Elbows, 10 sets x 5 reps - focus on speed of movement. Rest as needed.
Hmmm, I'm not sure how to take the pictures of these two chaps. Do we know who they are? Is at least one of them the owner of the anonymous dog from Saturday's WOD? Should we write some captions for them? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!
Question #1: where are we racking the bar for the OH squat ladder?
Okay one of them is Gary Taubes but that isn't funny so I'm going to say the one on the left is the love child of Andre the Giant and Ronald MacDonald's hair.
I hope he doesn't read this blog. The guy, not Andre. Cuz he's dead. Maybe rotten Ronnie should follow suit.
I had a great opportunity to sit in on a Phil Towle seminar yesterday so I missed out on the workout. Today I'm gone skiing. See you guys for the next 3/1!
You can rest in set with bar on shoulders but the bar MUST be reracked b/t sets...little tech difficulties on the compound lately hence the lack of description
It's a great day today! Furnace is out, it's 53 degree's in here right now (Cuddle time for family), It's our 18 year anniversary (Cheat Day!), and we have OVERHEAD SQUATS (WOO HOO).
James, do you have a video that shows proper form for the K2E with emphasis on speed? With full extension, my feet swing back and it's either wait for the swing to reverse before the pull or pull against the swing.
I went against orders today and did a OHS ladder of 115# 1-10. I wanted to beat my old time...to see how far I have come. Old TIME: 12:43 New TIME: 7:28 PR Sweet!!!
hang snatch at 61lbs OHS a weakness of mine so scaled to 76lbs - 12:50 dropped the bar on rep 6 of round 7 so then rest a little longer or could have been sub 10. certainly no 3 min about 4 of 10 were faster than normal on the k2e as I got into a good rhythm but once I lost it I was all over the place so went back to usual style
5:21, not overly happy with that result considering I finished rounds 1-6 in about 2 minutes. Maybe I pushed it too hard there and then had to wait longer for the last 4 rounds.
8:48 The rack wasn't available at Globo gym, so I power cleaned and push pressed weight behind head, regriped and completed each set. No breaks within sets. My wrists were howling.
I didn't see anyone post about the identity of the man on the left. James, great caputre. The left is Dean Ornish, the newage preacher of Low Fat, High Carb. How appropriate to show the two side-by-side and the results of a man who controls insulin with carbohydrate regulation and sufficient protein intake (Taubes), and a man (a Doctor, non-the-less) who has eaten a low fat (nearly no-fat) high carb diet. Perfect picture.
Hang Snatch, 3 sets x 3 reps - using 50% of recent 1RM Snatch. Rest as needed.

Shut up, Aucoin.
Is the OHS ladder as follows
ReplyDeletecomplete 1 rep, then 2 reps, then 3 reps, then 4 reps etc until 10?
just want to clarify before I do it.

ReplyDeleteAs far as I know yes. However if you fail or fraction any set you have to start that set over.

ReplyDeletehang snatch at 55lbs
ReplyDeleteOHS-first 4 rds at 75lbs last 6 rds at 65lbs - 12:56 my OHS is awful
Shoulders are on fire.

Hang Snatch @ 75 lbs
ReplyDeleteOHS - 8:48 @ 110 lbs
- Dropped the bar on the 6th rep of the 8th set due to balance. I wasn't entirely happy I had to do that set again.
K2E - I found a nice rhythm with a kip. Tough on the hands but quick.
Resting the quad today much to my chagrin.
ReplyDeleteTried a couple of snatches but couldn't hold it at the bottom.
Skipped the OHS squat ladder and did some light weight tech work.
K2E - Tried every grip possible. Prefer pronated kip or parallel grip for speed.
Can't help but wonder if this is the calm before the storm.
Gord - Let us know how you're feeling.
Hang Snatch @ 85#
ReplyDeleteOHS 7:07 @ 110#
never failed on any of the rounds
I went against orders today and did a OHS ladder of 115# 1-10.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to beat my old time...to see how far I have come.
Old TIME: 12:43
New TIME: 7:28 PR Sweet!!!
Time: 5:25 as rx'd
ReplyDelete1-5) 1:25
6) 33
7) 35
8) 58
9) 55
10) 56
It got mental starting round 8.
Ladder : 3:24 as Rx'd
ReplyDelete2:59 as rx'd. K2E's felt good.
ReplyDeleteSpeeding up the old K2E answered my question today. Turn them into a kip and they are much faster. There are some smokin times today.
ReplyDelete- 11:40
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could rest bar on shoulders, only rested overhead.

ReplyDeleteJust occurred to me that I used 115. D'oh.
