"We don't have the agility of gymnasts, the power of a weightlifter, or the endurance of a marathoner but we have more agility, power, and endurance than any gymnast, weightlifter or marathoner. We do your stuff almost as good as you, you can’t do our stuff at all and we do stuff neither of us does way better than you can." -Greg Glassman, aka "Coach"

OPT #18

Training for Monday 9-6:
AM
A. 2 Mid-hang muscle snatch + 2 snatch balance; 2.2 x 5; rest 2 min(weight by feel - perfect MS w max elbow height before turnover, no elbow drop, max hip and knee extension before arms engage; sn bal, punch elbows and hit perfect shoulder blade position)
95-105-115-115-115

B. Power snatch + mid-hang snatch; 1.1 x 5 @ 65%; rest 90 sec(% of higher max (snatch or power snatch))
105-105-105-105-105

C. 3 snatch push press + 3 OHS; 3.3 x 4; rest 2 min
(2 sec hold top of each press; 2 sec hold in bottom of each OHS; focus on complete scapular retraction and upward rotation, head through, bar over back of neck; relax hands, let wrists settle in)
105-105-105-105

I could have went much heavier on the mid-hang muscle snatch, but not on the snatch balance.... same for the power snatch, but not on the mid-hang (squat) snatch... and also on the snatch push press, but not on the OHS... I was left wanting heavier weight, but I was able to work though the movements Rx'ed, hopefully it will pay off in the long run

PM (right after)
7 sets:
Row 90 sec @ 95% (sub SDLHPs)Rest 10 second
35 double unders
rest 2 min
56-58-57-57-57-56-51

DUers were coming together nice.. (10-20 at a time) until sets 6 and 7 then the wheels fell off
