Snatches

Now that I dont have to train for the RKC snatch test, snatch workouts are fun again. I love this movement, I just dont like doing it to muscular and cardiovascular failure. Its such a fast and fluid exercise.Sometimes it you go to snatch it and you dont know how the bell got overhead. It kind of "just happens".

Now that I dont feel compelled to use the 72 for high rep snatches it takes a lot of pressure of the move as well. I can do the 53 safely any number of ways. With the 2 pood there is only one safe path.Getting too light for that thing.

And too old,lol!

snatch
26x5+5
36x5+5
44x5+5

53x10+10x 6 sets only 120 reps. felt harder than that. will work up to 10X10x10. 200 reps. now thats a lot in one workout.

windmills
36x4+4 have to REALLY pull the right shoulder down for the rotation to work.Major concious effort whereas on the left side I dont have to think about it. It just happens.
36x4+4
44x5+5 much better touching on right side.
53x5+5x4 sets solid.

turkish getups
26x2+2 ug, my right side hates this.
36x2+2
36x2+2 outside. LOTS harder on grass.this is not a great move for me.
