The power snatches are written out a bit different, the first two were tough and go, I wanted to get up to weight quickly. The other sets were resetting, sometimes resting almost a full set between reps (more so at the 145), and other times just a few second. The snatch frustrates me because it's so technical, if I make one mistake it can throw off my entire lift and I either fail or pressout. Sometimes when everything clicks the right away the lift almost feels easy, 145 was mostly good, the first one being a clear pressout. The back squats I kept hamstring to calf and high bar, wanting to just lift heavy. I didn't push any set to absolute failure, I was curious what I could squat for a single, 265 I must admit was on the light side for a 1RM, it was pretty quic, but I've never gone for a 1RM on HBBS only low bar. The box jumps were fun, my legs has less juice in them, but it felt great for my second workout back.
I'm enjoying snatches for the same reason - the technical aspect. Usually, failure or lack of progress would be frustrating, but I know how difficult it is to master. I don't care about the weight so much, just the elegance (if that' the right word), like this.
ReplyDeletehaha cept being elegant on the lift isn't so easy.
