workout 20140506 – snatches, thrusters, box jumps

// 2014.05.07 15:17 // , ,

EMOTM – 10 minutes – 85#
1x halting deadlift
1x hang snatch
1x snatch

5 rounds:
12x thruster 75#/45#
12x box jump 24″/20″

11:35

The EMOTM snatch sequence was way off my PR for a snatch (135#), but I always take a long time to warm up my snatch technique. And I find doing the snatch from the hang position to be much harder since one has to do everything faster to complete the move. Or so it seems to me. I did not get a lot of rest between lifts either because I like doing stuff like this slowly and deliberately.

The thrusters and box jumps were painful as expected. I used to like thrusters, too. I am glad Rx weight for the thrusters was 75# and not 95# as one might expect. I only did the first round unbroken then dropped the bar once or twice for the following rounds. I have noticed I do box jumps slower than before (say last year) for some unknown reason. I may be the best way for me to speed up box jumps is to simply lose weight.
