On Friday, Olly Goddard hit a 130kg/286# Snatch PR at the CF Fenrir camp. He had two extremely close misses before he hit his new PR, and the flaws with them were about as subtle as I’ve ever seen. I thought doing a comparison of the miss and make would be a good opportunity to show how something as simple as wrist position – especially with a high level lifter – can make a huge difference.

-didn’t get a good nights rest last night so woke up with low energy levels, everything felt heavy for me decided to stick to my working weight for touch n go efforts instead of going for singles, told myself If the weight started to feel lighter then go up but on a sad note they didn’t they ended up feeling heavier and heavier, on the up side I do feel more efficient cycling through reps at this weight

Conditioning 2 rep PR. 268 reps (18MUs). Slowest Karen in a while, my arms were really tired, did 25 reps/10 sec rest till 90, then 15s finished around 6:30 (last week did Karen in 5:31), broke the DUs into 3 sets to avoid soreness and because I suck. had 3:34 left to do my MUs. Did MUs in 3 sets of 3, 2 sets of 2, then singles. I attribute much of my better time to spending a little time on MU form earlier.

Total Reps: 261 – wasn’t around for the 13 Open so never did this workout but I wanted a full round. HAppy but trying to string together larger sets of MUs though!
I wouldn’t worry about big sets, I like to keep them small with quick rests to keep attacking the rings. The bigger the sets, the longer your left staring at the rings in between. You got to the rings a good 50 seconds before me, but I’m guessing those sets of 4 took a lot more out of you than my 3s and 2s.
Yea I’ve kinda been all over the place with MUs trying to see what works best for me in metcons. I’ve done the small sets and singles so that is why I am trying to test larger sets to see what it does to me and if I can do it effectively. My max UB set till date I believe is 14 so I would think 4-5 are are within reach without murdering myself.

THRILLLLEEEEDDD with my performance, though could have been better. Prior Karen time was 9:26 from 10/2014; finished wall balls today in 8:47(39s PR!!!), but then ran out of juice for the DUs; only managed 57 since I kept tripping up on the rope, but totally could have finished if I was more relaxed. 207 (prior score a year ago this week was 150, finishing the wall balls in 11:57).
