I love learning new things. This can take the form of figuring out new technical things, or a new business idea, or how to physically do something different.
It’s one of the things I love about functional fitness. Every workout, do something new, try a different way, challenge yourself. Maybe that means adding more reps, or maybe it means more weight, or maybe it means changing the way you do something. Decline push-ups anyone?
Today, we worked a bunch on the part of my form that’s used in the bar clean and bar snatch movements. I’m not making the last but of the full extension, or ‘pop’ as we call it, happen, so I’m not nearly efficient as I could be. Also, it’s important to establish good form with lighter weights so you reduce the risk of injury later.
Warmup:
- 10 Overhead Squats @ 45 lbs
- 400 M run
- 40 Wallballs @ 20 lbs
- 40 Abmat Situps
- 10 Overhead Squats @ 45 lbs
Workout:
- 36 Reps of improving my bar snatch
- 2K Row: 7:18 (PB)
- Deadlift to get to max weight:
- 6 reps @ 185 lbs
- 6 reps @ 185 lbs
- 6 reps @ 235 lbs
- 6 reps @ 235 lbs
Very pleased with the rowing PB. Looking forward to continued improvements in that area, though I think they are going to be smaller and smaller steps. The deadlifts were hard, especially because I continue to struggle w/my form on that one, too. Ah, more learning in my future!
