15-14-13-12-11-10 rep sets. PR by 46 seconds over my 30yo self! I know it’s not a firebreather score but my lungs feel a bit scorched! Definitely wanted to go faster on the last set to sneak under 5m but the legs weren’t having it!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Power snatch - jumping/landing with a light weight, emphasis on jumping


MAIN DECISION

Actual power snatch or "power snatch"


TECHNIQUE SCALE

3 rounds

3:00 of hang power snatch

Rest as needed between rounds


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As is


INTENSITY SCALE

As is


INJURY SCALE

Since this is a lot of pressing out on the snatch, you can do an overhead push if you have a lower body injury or some kind of jumping if you have an upper body injury. So try the technique scale with either strict press (maybe push press), or box jumps (or kb swings).


MY STUFF

5:20. I actually finished 70 reps at 4:47, thinking I was done, collapsed on the ground for a few seconds, only to realize I had 5 more reps left. Not my proudest moment.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Set a goal of 15 reps per minute which proved pretty hard by minute 3... kept it moving rounds of 5 by the end.


Really proud of this, almost 2 minutes off my prior best which was probably done July 2020. Found Crossfit workouts when building my garage gym and researching barbell workouts. Up came Randy, Grace, DT. Tried them all out but avoided Randy the most.

Took scaling advice since I'm having trouble with my form. Converted to HANG power snatches, and slowed down to work on form-specifically exploding from the hips. So ...

75 hang power snatches at 65# sorta for time...10:55 fwiw

Is this everything you train ?

Example todays practice is less thrn 10 minutes ?

Good trains anyway and keep going on !!😀😀

No, a normal session has some warmup, some technique, some strength or accessories and then a wod or more than one wod and finally some stretching. Anyway it depends on your level, what you're aiming for, etc...


Some people might be doing two sessions a day, some might be doing one, for some those sessions will be 45 min for some it will be one hour.


Either find a box or learn a lot so you can plan your own sessions and settle for a schema and a volume you're comfortable with.
