- 30 Snatch (M 165 / F 100 lbs)
- Max Rep Snatch (M 210 / F 120 lbs)
SCORE:60
I had a lot of nervous anticipation for this WOD. The snatch is not a lift I am in proficient in at all, so I was unsure what the outcome would be. I was hoping for 60 but not expecting it.
I went to weightlifting class on Thursday evening and Craig worked on snatch technique with us. I practiced the muscle snatch which is not something I had used before, but seemed to be much more efficient.
I used the muscle snatch for the first set of 30 and felt pretty good. I think I was able to do all 30 unbroken. To have to bump it up to 75 pounds felt like a significant jump. I power snatched the 30 reps at 75# and still had about 2 minutes left. My previous snatch PR was 85# so to attempt 100# was not something I was prepared for. I had several attempts but all were failures so my final score was 60.
Even though I didn't expect to get more than 60, I was frustrated that I had the opportunity to, and wasn't able to make it happen. I think I have the strength but my technique needs a lot of work. Had I had the technique down, I probably would have been able to hit the 100#. Frustrating!
