Snatches didn’t go as badly as they have been! I really enjoyed working with Morgan, too. Got up to 50#, then down to 43#….which didn’t feel much lighter. Still trying to pull into my hips instead of bouncing forward.

Jumping jacks as active rest. Not much else to say about that. My calves were dying.
The 6:30pm class had some pretty creative “dancing jacks.” But that metcon pretty was brutal.
Came in thinking this was going to be a good day to stay lighter and focus on pulling under the bar but the first couple attempts I felt really off balance, bar was all over the place and I couldn’t stabilize even at low weight. I figured I would come back to that on a better day and went back to power snatch and worked my way up to 125# again instead.

Thrusters suck and, surprisingly, jumping jacks are not equivalent to rest! Who knew?
Clearly this workout should be renamed “Death by Jumping Jacks”. Literally did burpees the last few rounds in lieu of jumping jacks because my calves were so sore,.
