I Hate It When I Can’t At Least Repeat A Crossfit Workout
Wednesday at Crossfit was the Olympic Weightlifting Snatch - which is basically picking the bar off the ground and flinging it over your head in one movement, like this monster 202.5 kg Snatch!
I actually changed my schedule to make it in for this workout as I’ve been eager to beat my personal best 65kg snatch which has stood for 3 months now. It was all going very well and I felt confident and strong and honestly expected to get at least 70kg, right up until I failed my first 65kg attempt. Then it just fell apart, too much thinking and my head got in the way.
3 attempts at 65kg and I couldn’t do it, gah! It’s the most annoying thing not to be able to do at least what I’ve done before, especially when I know I’m stronger now and have better form. Ho hum.

[...] Working up to a max 1 rep Snatch on Tuesday down the Crossfit gym, after warm up I started at 50kg (110lb) and got 3 in quick succession no problem. Upping to 55kg (121 lb) I did another 2 easily and was feeling confident for a possible Personal Best. However at 60kg it started to go wrong. I failed twice and that was that, I couldn’t even get myself under the bar anymore… Once I fail a lift, it seems I go to pot and can’t go higher. My PB snatch remains 65kg. [...]
