Just finished off my first week of the Wendler 5.3.1 Strength Program..
Found all my 1 Rep Maxs for the Military Press, Squat, Deadlift, and Bench Press.. Excited to see these numbers go WAY up in the coming months.
Threw in a fun WOD on Sunday
First I built to a Body Weight 1 Rep Power Snatch at 174 pounds...Failed 3 times at 180#.. So close though! Video at the bottom.
Then for Time:
15 Power Clean @ 135
30 Box Jumps 24"
10 Power Clean @ 135
20 Box Jumps 24"
5 Power Clean @ 135
10 Box Jumps 24"
Time; 5:40
Very very excited about the Power Snatch.. Need to clean it up a little bit to hit that 200 goal! Lots of weight in between 174 and 200 but that's what I hope to hit in the next 3 months.

Are you wearing gloves?
ReplyDeleteYou lead with your hips on the initial pull off the ground. Lower back is rounded, chest is wayy to low. Drill your starting position, point your toes out a bit more, push your knees out, drop your hips. Lead with your chest out of the bottom.
You pull early, but have a good finish which makes up for it. When catching the weight your butt should be shifted back, and knees back.
Drill Snatch balances.
Keep drilling, you easily have the strength for 200 now. Learn to get under it. Watch videos of good lifters as much as possible.
