We did more baseline testing today, and it was of two of my weakest movements!
BASELINE 1
establish a one rep max snatch
115PR-125F-125PR
Never having set a 1RM snatch before, I knew there was a PR coming my way at least... I got 105# full squat no prob, but going up from there was getting sloptastic. Hit 115# with a full snatch sloppy style, decided to try it split snatch and felt solid. So I went for 125# (big jump in weight I know) and failed, then hit it as a split snatch. Being all over the map like this means only one thing - my snatch technique sucks! But hey, admitting it is the first step right? ;)
BASELINE 2
max reps handstand-pushups
1 strict HSPU
Blah. I need to spend more time inverted it seems! Stayed after class and got 6 kipping unbroken... it's time to add HSPU as part of my warm-up everyday.
Just because it's awesome, watch Naim Suleymanoglu AKA "pocket Hercules" set snatch world records! Video from 1988.
It's raining! Loving it. Peace.
