A. Squat snatch, build to a max
+
For time:
20 squat snatches, 77% of A


A. 145 (PR+5)

4:11 @110


I was really happy with the snatch PR, I didn't think I would do very well on this part since I haven't snatched heavy in awhile. The first few reps were a little rough but as the weight got heavier it started to feel easier. The snatch at 145 actually felt really good. I tried for 150 three times but failed. I fell forward on the first attempt. then fell backward, then I barely caught it on the third attempt so I had to stop, my arms were getting pretty tired. The 20 snatches at 70% were pretty good, I did all singles and tried to minimize rest between reps. The first ten were really easy but then it got pretty tiring, I failed a few and also got no-repped on one of them because I didn't catch it below parallel. Oops. I am really happy with how my snatches are progressing, especially my squat snatch. I am pulling myself under the bar much faster than I used to. I looked back at my testing from last summer and when I did this workout, I was only able to snatch 120. So putting 25 pounds on my snatch in one year is a really good feeling. Looking forward to the rest of testing.
