Tuesday – 060512 – Power Snatch, Death by Pull-ups…

M'Kelle looking good in some bright green!


Power Snatch:

3-3-3-3-3

Death By Pull-ups

With a continuously running clock, do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three the third, and so on and so forth until you are unable to complete the prescribed number of reps in the given minute.

All athletes should aim to hit the ten minute mark successfully. If you are caught in between bands/scaling options, opt for the more difficult option until you absolutely cannot go on, then continue with greater assistance. This does not mean, however, that you should simply add a band every time a set of pull-ups becomes difficult. Try to limit yourself to one change of scale during the entire workout.

    Worked up to 63 (PR), tried 68 but got scared too many times to drop under the bar. Finally got 2 and couldn’t muster the 3rd

    Pull-ups: made it to 6 with purple band, then added black up until 12. 1 minute break and wrapped up with 14. Much harder than it sounds

    Power snatch triples to 113#. 15 plus 11 for pullups, stopped when my hand tore or I would have probably made it through 16.
