10:32. 70# Snatch, Rx Pullups.

This was a terrible workout for me. I’m still trying to string together all the movements in the snatch. That combined with trying to go fast frustrated me because I missed about 8 snatch attempts during the WOD.

15:50 43# snatch, blue band pull-ups

This was a tougher WOD than I thought it was going to be. The snatch is a tricky movement, no wonder why Tyler never let us do them in Minneapolis.

15:30 (i think)
75#
6 real pullups then the blue band

75% of my snatches were not power snatches. So that felt nice.

Chest to bar pullups were bad. Even with the blue band I could barely do 1 at a time towards the end.

I also struggled and became flustered. I was so pumped to do this WOD after completing the Murph challenge on Saturday, but struggled very early on.

For a brief moment I doubted my ability and had thoughts of giving up (which is unlike me) suddenly I was surrounded by trainers to assist and motivate. I made it through, slowly but surely. Thanks trainers. I anticipate we’ll see snatch squats again.
