Workout of the Day

Muscle snatch 1-1-1 reps

Snatch balance 1-1-1-1 reps

Squat snatch 1-1-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.

Scaling:
The goal of this session is to use the muscle snatch and snatch balance to build confidence with a heavier load and get ready to PR your squat snatch. If you need to scale the complexity of the movement, you can reduce the load or the range of motion for both the snatch balance and the squat snatch.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Hang muscle snatch 1-1-1 reps

Overhead squat 2-2-2-2 reps

Hang power snatch 1-1-1-1-1 reps

I guess I spent too much time on the first 2 movements... Didn't have enough kick to PR the SS... Good session anyway :)

1 rep complex lifts just don't do much for me anymore, so I subbed in a random lift day:

5-5-5-5-5 power cleans

115-120(4)-120-120-115#

Max rep slow, dead hang pull-ups

7-6-5 (I think PCs had something to do with these low numbers!)

Bench press 5-5-3-3-3

125-130-135-140-140#


61/5'8"/155

Ah, snatches, kryptonite to my superhero attempts, so:

Burgener warm up with PVC, then all moves with 15# bar, focusing on form: lock out, depth in squat etc & finished with alternating DB snatches @ 15-20-25; still not hitting 30; soon!

Good work focusing on technique, regardless of weight, and way to still get after it!

It's been a week since last posting but I have been checking the WODs - some great workouts and great results, well done to all! I took a break of sorts, and still am to some degree, in a focused effort to address joint pain. However, I couldn't resist participating in our Friday Bulletproof workout at least on some level.


6 Rounds for time

90m Sandbag carry (60#)

20 Shoulder to Overhead (75#, SP and PP)

20 Squats

20m Sled drag-push (80#)

30m Farmer Carry (2x32kg KB)

Did 4 rounds in approximately 15min


Didn't push the pace, but it felt good to get the heart rate up and a solid leg and shoulder pump. Since I didn't post the whole week, my "break" days consisted of either a warm-up and stretching/rolling or 600-700m in the pool and stretching/rolling. I think there has been some improvement and may continue that for another week pending how I feel by the end of today.

Good to "see" you post! I think you're smart to take time to address issues, so you can move forward safely & better than ever. Hope the extra focused attention helps! Good time on that BP workout! I may try that one; sounds right in my wheelhouse. Sending healing joint vibes! 🙂

Lincoln, is it primarily elbows, or multiple joints? I used to get elbow issues, and they took eons to heal, but nothing in the past few years...its all transferred to my back!

Excellent BP workout today.

It's great to see you back! I can totally relate to dealing with joint pain. I’ve been going through it myself. I’m taking it easy today. See you guys tomorrow. Hopefully 🤞

Jim, it's both elbows, left wrist, both knees, and sometimes the back (the last straw last Friday to prompt this extended recovery period). Except during a couple periods of acute injury recovery, I haven't really taken any true breaks in physical training minus rest days for the last quarter century. I have a hard time with doing things low speed once I lace up the trainers and start the session. It's time to re-evaluate and try something else when programmed rest days and other treatments just aren't doing the trick anymore, but at the same time I need to keep moving. Thanks for the chuck-up on the workout, it was still fun despite scaling.

Lincoln, I'm with you. Most of my injuries come when I'm feeling great and push too hard, and zap my back. Frustrating beyond belief. I've really come to value rest days, even though I'm tempted to (and sometimes do) cheat. One thing that works for me is incorporating more swimming into my workout days. It's fantastic exercise, exhausting, but at non-elite levels I find it hard to hurt myself. Would be great for your knees and back, but perhaps hard on the elbows and wrist, and of course more complex to fit into the day. I doubt CF will be programming swimming for a while, but still among the best exercises.

Globo wod: if you are using iron plates today use a load that you can control on the way down; if you are not using standard plates its OK to do low hangs. Dumbbell sub dumbbell muscle snatch 4-4-4, Dumbbell OHS 4-4-4-4, and dumbbell squat snatches 4-4-4-4-4, alternating each rep. The dumbbell overhead squat and squat snatch tends to be more difficult than the barbell version so warm up well and use good form. If you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.
