M/26/5'8"/165lb

CrossFit AFK


6 - Rx (After halfway through, I was resting 15-20 seconds between movements. Unbroken sit-ups and snatches though. Wanted to be doing a round every 90-seconds or so, but the rest during the transition and overall inability to go faster held me up. My right arm could lock out a little better overhead.)


Lesson Plan

Warm-up

4 rounds

30-seconds each with a light band

Banded good mornings

Seated pike stretch

Banded hollow rocks

Seated pike stretch

Skill

4-minutes practice front and back levers

One attempt alternating front and back

Tuck

Single leg extended, each side

Both legs extended

-use a band on the feet or spotters as needed

-practicing slow and controlled candlesticks is a good option for newer athletes

Specific warm-up

Dumbbell snatch progression

With no dumbbell, each arm in order

3 deadlift high pulls

3 muscle snatches

3 snatch landing, keep hand overhead with the arm locked out and focus on footwork

With a light dumbbell, each arm in order

3 deadlift high pulls

3 muscle snatches

3 power snatches

Build-up

3 rounds of:

3 1/4 GHD sit-ups/ 3 1/2 GHD sit-ups/ 3 GHD sit-ups - Practice aggressive leg drive

3 left arm dumbbell snatches, touch and go

3 right arm dumbbell snatches, touch and go

-Increase dumbbell load, and speed of the sit-ups each round.

Workout of the day

-smooth is fast

-use the legs

Cool-down

With light dumbbells or no load at all

Dumbbell windmills, each side

7-7-7 reps

Unbroken.  Only way to go faster would have been to go faster.  I did not put the accelerator down much today, just happy to complete without resting.

Did 15lb for the snatches just to make sure my elbow didn’t start hurting. So far so good so hopefully it stays good or I’ll probably take a epsom salt bath just to help with that and my chest soreness.

It looks like this individual in the demo is putting their back or lower back in hyper-extension, this seems unhealthy. Can you elaborate or educate me on this?

Creag Donaldson
March 7th, 2022 at 4:04 pm

I would like an answer to this as well. Im observing that obviously this is only optimal once you have demonstrated that you have full capacity through the full range of motion. Before you even allow an individual to move into a degree of Flextion past the neutral mid line.


From this then I expect your building that capacity past that normal range of motion! - obviously this hyper extension is based on your level of experiance and ability with this movement.


Thoughts?

We do not have a GDH unfortunately, can you suggest a (reasonable) alternative to the GDH ?

Js Smith
January 27th, 2021 at 6:59 pm

Not sure what qualifies as reasonable for your situation.... try declined sit-ups (with or without a weight/medicine ball), sit-ups off a plyo box/ bench with feet anchored, toes to bar, knee raises (with or without weight), or Ab-mat sit-ups (with or without weight)?
