16, 18 and 20 kg snatch practice,walking lunges, pushups, shoulder sled



Not a bad one today at all. Body felt pretty good all day but really didn't enough stretch out time. It makes a huge difference to get at least 45 minutes first thing in the morning. This morning I go 15 and tried to get more throughout the work day but it never is the same.

Still I went into the workout with good energy
BW 161 at 4 am

Snatches
16 kg x 7/7 x 5 sets
18 kg x 7/7 x 3 sets
20 kg x 7/7 x 2 sets

the 16 kg snatch


these were so so as evidenced by the videos. The definitely felt better as I went on but my overhead position is just not there. Perhaps this will make it better. Not doing them hasn't helped. The problem is stopping at the top- if I just roll through the rep it doesn't hurt.

I do love the challenge of them though, that's for sure. They are so athletic and powerful. I just miss my overhead :((

walking lunges
4 laps of 120 ft.

very strong actually. very

Parallete's pushups
4 sets of 11

these went very well also. Need to do rear delts, just didn't get it done.

Shoulder sled
4 laps of 250 ft
strong also

get on the floor tonight and roll out!

I think maybe you should consider using a 12kg and do a 1 minute snatch hold. The snatch hold always works out the kinks for me. After I tweaked my left shoulder/bicep the TGU helped get my shoulder back into place. I think you could do the same with a snatch hold.

I would if I could. the snatch holds used to work for me but I can't hold the weight overhead in the right position anymore.:(

the constant motion seems to stretch it out more as well as the heavier bell.
it sucks

155 x 3 x 5, 160 x 3 x 5, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 40, 35

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
