6/11 - Snatch and Regionals WOD 2

Today's focus was all about 'style points' on our snatch technique.  Low weight, just going through the movements with good form.  I loved it but wanted more when it was over...

Snatch skills:
Snatch grip deadlift
Snatch pull
Hang snatch
Snatch balance
Snatch drop
Squat snatch
For quality!  

WOD (with Tim)
1/2 Regionals WOD 2
1000m row
25 pistols
15 hang cleans (scaled to 40kg)
8:30ish

It took me just over 4 minutes on the row.  It was good as it allowed me to focus on good form and keeping my stroke and heart rates low.  I didn't come off feeling fatigued though I had a bit of cramping in my glutes.  Coach Match said it has a lot to do with the recovery and whether you're pulling back with your heels or toes and that it's best to work on both options to be able to adjust depending on the workout (hamstrings/glutes vs quads).

The pistols were okay, getting easier now since we've been practicing them so much in these 'extra' wods.  And the hang cleans were heavy but I was still able to manage decent sets - 5-4-3-3.  I was reluctant to join Tim in this WOD but was glad that I did.  I was afraid of the rower (I hate the rower) but after this I didn't feel to bad about it.
