Today's WOD featured the "hanging power snatch." If you've never seen this move, check out this short video. The snatch in general is not one of my strongest moves. I think that is because it is built upon the overhead squat. And I struggle SO MUCH with the overhead squat. With that said, I feel like I'm getting stronger and am working toward getting this move (and the OH squat) down right. I just need to keep working on it. And I need to put my pride aside & stick to low weights until I get the form down pat.
So today called for 5 sets of 3 reps each of the hanging power squat. I managed to do the following weights:
45#, 55#, 65#, 75#, 75# + 1 set of 3 reps @ 45# just to work on my form a bit more.
At the low weights, I can get the bar all the way overhead in one move, without pausing and having to press the weight the rest of the way up. But I am not getting underneath the weight like I should be. So I have a lot of work left to do on this move.
As usual, we finished up with 30 knees to elbows and 5 pistols (L & R).
I'm really glad this WOD didn't have a strong cardio component. It's really hot and humid out and all I really want to do is get back inside and get under the ceiling fans. Oh summer, you don't make it easy to work out.
