Snatch

Snatch: Nope, not the movie, the exercise!

After watching Muzza win a silver medal at the world champs last night, I had a sleep in and a VERY lazy morning. Yep you read correctly - my little brother's K4 crew is not only going to the Olympics, they're going as medal contenders!

I hit the gym late this arvo for a quick workout. It was quite funny - when I arrived there were these two guys doing horrific-technique back squats on the Smith. They spent more time chatting than anything else and I got my entire workout done whilst they were still mucking around at the same station! My workout was similar to Isabel (mainsite WOD from last week) as follows:

40 x 40kg snatch

That's it. It was hard. I am now hurting.

I also did a few sets of shins, pushups, dips, squats and 30 x 30kg overhead squats at the end. I'm stoked because I can actually do an overhead squat with load now! My snatch technique needs work - my shoulders still aren't flexible enough - but I felt like I've improved a lot so am happy.
