"Snatch & Go"

Warm Up: Farmer’s Walk 100 meters (55#)
Lunge 100 meters
Sprint 100 meters
Farmer’s Walk 100 meters (55#)

2 Rounds

Skill: Snatch

WOD: 10 Snatches 95#/65# (75#)
Row Sprint 1 minute for distance (255/238/225/225/250 = 1,193m)
5 Rounds


Great workout! The warm up tonight was actually harder than the workout. Since I'm still carrying around 250+ lbs, lunges and squats become very challenging when done in high numbers. I had to stop several times during the lunges and "cheat" a little by walking a few steps. This was my first time actually doing a "power snatch" (lifting the bar from the ground each rep) and it honestly felt great. My form was nowhere near perfect, but I felt good using the 75 lbs. I could have done more, but my form would have continued to degrade which would have increased the chance for injury.
