Training September 15, 2014

Snatch Balance
2-2-2 Rest 2:00 minutes between rounds
132, 154, 165

These felt A LOT better than last week.  I definitely could have gone higher on these.


OHS
5-5-5 Rest 2:00 minutes between rounds
154, 176, 187

These felt great. I experimented with a little narrower grip; something between a clean grip and a snatch grip.  I felt very stable overhead.  I have never even come close to attempting 187 for five, and I got it really easily.

On another note, the reason why I did not snatch today is due to an injured right foot I suffered on Friday.  I am too embarrassed to say how I injured it, but it is very swollen and bruised.  Might have broken a couple of bones, not sure.  Nevertheless, triple extension was out of the picture today.  I can't really put any weight up on my toes.  It feels better today than it did yesterday so I am hopeful it will only be a brief annoyance in my training schedule.

HBBS
3-3-3 Rest 3:00 minutes between rounds
305, 325, 345

These did not feel as good as they did last week, and the first rep at 345 almost pinned me, but I was able to pull it back together and gut out the last two reps.

AMRAP 8
Thrusters 95 lbs.
TTB
Ascending ladder 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18...
139 Reps (Round of 18 complete + 13 thrusters)

Nasty flashbacks to Opens past.  Thrusters unbroken until the round of 15.  Round of 18 was split 12-6 and the last 13 were 10-3.  TTB unbroken through the round of 9.  Round of 12 was 10-2, round of 15 was 5-5-5 and the round of 18 was 6-6-6.  Overall, pretty happy with this, but I really wanted the round of 18 thrusters unbroken.
