Ever since <strong>I dropped a 67.5 kg Snatch on my head<\/strong> some 4 months back now, once I get to 60kg it gets scary and my head vetos my bodies attempt to throw 60kg in the air and jump underneath it before gravity brings it crashing down!<\/p>\n<p>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.  <strong>However at 60kg it started to go wrong.  <\/strong>I failed twice and that was that, I couldn&#8217;t even get myself under the bar anymore&#8230;  Once I fail a lift, it seems I go to pot and can&#8217;t go higher.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colinmcnulty.com\/blog\/2007\/10\/19\/i-hate-it-when-i-cant-at-least-repeat-a-crossfit-workout\/\">My PB snatch remains 65kg.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So my new plan is this, I&#8217;m going to use the same approach to snatches as back squats &#8211; do lots of them at the same weight and build up my confidence again.  <strong>This time I did 10 single lifts at 50kg, next time I&#8217;ll increment the weight<\/strong> and do the same, though I haven&#8217;t decided on 52.5 or 55kg for the next set.  Will see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>We also did a quick blast workout on Tuesday:<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 rounds of: 15 Over Head Squats + 430m run<\/strong> (so 3 runs in total).\u00a0 This is actually the same <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colinmcnulty.com\/blog\/2007\/06\/12\/crossfit-snatches-fun-for-all-the-family\/\">Crossfit Snatch based workout<\/a> we did 4 months ago back in July.\u00a0 Then I used a 34kg (75lb) bar for the Over Head Squats and I did the workout in 15:42.\u00a0 Running was my nemesis then and I had to work some of the runs.<\/p>\n<p>This time round I used a 40kg (88lb) bar and managed all 3 runs unbroken.\u00a0 In fact I did all 3 sets of 15 OHS unbroken too.\u00a0 So not surprisingly, <strong>depsite the extra weight, I smashed my previous time by 3 minutes 43 seconds<\/strong>, doing it in 11:59.\u00a0 Very pleased with that, a 25% improvement in 4 months!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crossfit Snatches continue to be a problem for me.
