As rxd. 135-138-140-143-150lbs.

123-125-125-125-125-125

125-128-133-138-143 the last snatch felt easiest but knees are a bit sore/needed to stretch/foam roll quads more.

M/53/5’9”/168, new to CF


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Pick one movement and do 150 reps of it at a light weight. Split it up into however many sets you want.


Snatch balance progression: https://youtu.be/ca_AEjUFFB0 


Overhead Squat 15-15-15 reps 10/10 DB

Pressing Snatch Balance 5-5-5/5-5-5/5-5-5 reps 30secs/3 min 10/10 DB

Heaving Snatch Balance 5-5-5/5-5-5 reps 30secs/3 min 10/10 DB

Snatch Balance 5-5-5/5-5-5 reps 30secs/3 min 10/10 DB


NOTES:


This movement shows weakness in my shoulders, t-spine and def lower back as well.  Possibly some tightness in my hips.  I started with an empty barbell but immediately had to scale it down.

i kept getting 165 to the bottom of the squat and not balancing it. I had to stay at it till I got it. Finally did. I feel like I have the strength to do 185 , but my speed under the bar and balance in the bottom isn’t there yet. More to work on.

Empty barbell. 45#s went slow & focused on form. Right 🦶🏽 arch is in a world of pain. I have no idea what I did to it. Wrapped it & wore lifters for stability.

Snatch is my weak link. I borrowed Chris S ideas and did 100 reps of 1 snatch style, broken randomly (never more than 10 straight), at WAY WAY LOW weights (between 12lbs and 55lbs). I selected:


Heaving Snatch Balance

Reps: 8 at 12#, 12 at 25#, 20 at 35#, 10 each at 45# and 55#, and 35 at 30#


A YouTube video I found endorsed the Heaving for weak upper body folk like me. I agree 100%. Because your feet stay planted, you can focus on the dip and drive, and then bar placement, without missing the landing.


Overall, this wasn't exactly a "WOD" but I got a lot of practice at a big deficiency.

I think usually when we see this kind of workout, you would do some warm-up sets building in weight.

You can either build to a target weight and do that for all sets, or add weight each set until you get to a max for the day.

In this second option, depending on the movement and the reps, the first "working" set could often be around 70-80% of a one-rep max.

Being stuck in a room with nothing but resistance bands and towels made this interesting. Couldn’t perform any form of a snatch despite my best efforts because of band anchoring needs.


20 minutes of SLIPS

Then

150 reps of overhead squat using bands and a towel (to help with lateral stabilization due to pull of the bands). No real pattern to rep scheme - just played with the different bands until I reached 150 total.

Then

10 more minutes of squats and plank variations

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS

Power snatch - jumping with a heavy weight and a transition position with an emphasis on upright torso and pushing (overhead)

Snatch balance - jumping with heavy weight, same as above, emphasis on landing

Snatch - jumping with a heavy weight, same as above, emphasis on range of motion


WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT

Boz does a good job of explaining it. I'd also add that it kind of progress from jump (power snatch), to land (snatch balance), to jump and land (snatch).


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Pick one movement and do 150 reps of it at a light weight. Split it up into however many sets you want.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Pick the same weight for every set on each lift. On the snatch balance, it's okay to drop, re-rack, and do the second rep.


INTENSITY SCALE

As is.


MY STUFF

Did a lot of snatch balance reps at a light weight, worked up to 155, and then felt the basketball calling my name more than the bar, so shot around for a while.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
