Sloppy Snatch

Today's punishment:

Power Snatch

8 x 2

*Assistance Strength Work:

Snatch-Grip Deadlift

3 x 5 [add +50lbs from best Power Snatch]

Result: 85 because they were so sloppy; 165 on the snatch-grip dead lifts
Sadism scale: 2 of 5 getting a good snatch is a hard work.

I don't think I have done a snatch since 2008, quite the dry spell. In the past six months I have really been working and improving my clean n' jerks so I didn't think a snatch would give me so much trouble, but I am really out of practice. At first, I just couldn't get my hand position correct for the snatch. Jason has been doing snatches for a long time so he was watching and giving me pointers. He told me to move my hands slightly, so I repositioned my hands which helped a lot. After that the biggest thing holding me back wasn not being able to explode. I kept trying and trying, moving my hips the way Jason told me to but I just couldn't explode. So I never got past an 85 pounder because my snatch was just so sloppy. It is really hard to get a good snatch, but I am sure if I work hard enough I will get one! For now, I'd rather just get someone to...

Suck it.

Clean N Jerks... too easy

Today's punishment:

C N J (Clean ~ N ~ Jerk!)

H-E-A-V-Y

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Result: Officially set 1-RM CNJ @ 145. (Didn't have one recorded yet)
Sadism scale: 2 of 5 (almost broke my back on a failed rep)

My blog post was one day to early or this is Jason's subtle nod to yesterday's topic. Anyways, I could continue on about masturbating and clean n' jerks but that would be too easy. Today, I am going to discuss...

Brett Favre's backcracker block from last night. Fucking tits that's all I have to say.



(The wildcat runner was Percy Harvin, btw)

The old bastard comes out with gray stubbly whiskers. Everyone thinks its just a normal preseason two-hand touch game and BAM! he wakes those fuckers up Stuntman Mike style. Was it cheap and unnecessary, yes. Could it have ruined that poor safety's career, yes. This may be a defining moment for Brett Favre; due to his reckless abandon, he may have finally changed his public opinion. Brett Favre was always mister perfect-do-no-wrong, yet he has been unsuccessfully been trying to become a villain for 4 years. (Not sitting out when injured, waiting to the last second to start playing so the team can't practice properly, getting coaches fired, pissing off Jeff Garcia... etc) People just couldn't find a reason to hate the guy. Now you can all rally against him like you have always wanted to deep down. Bring on the hate.

This is the second awesome preseason game in a row... thank god for football season.

Suck it.

PS Can some one from 6 AM remind me to put this one in my book... kthxby

Still sleepy Monday

Today's bullshit:

AMRAP in 15 minutes of

3 HSPU

5 Pull-Ups

7 KTE

Results: 8 rounds + 2 handstand push-ups (using 8 notebooks)
Pukey scale: 2 of 5
Sadism scale: 4 of 5

Handstand push-ups are no joke and they are vastly less enjoyable then their sibling the kegstand push-up but I digress. Lets review this WOD in slow-mo. First you do some hand stand push-ups, then you tear the fuck out of your hands on the pull up bar doing pull-ups and KTEs. Then you drop back down on the floor with your now bleeding hands and put the ENTIRE WEIGHT OF YOUR BODY on them for more handstand push-ups. Repeat. Oh Jason you are a sadist indeed. Luckily mine did not tear did not tear thanks to my intense work out this weekend that required a lot of Vaseline, my hand and... sorry we almost about to head in the TMI category... fuck it... MY PENIS! I was nice and conditioned for this Monday demoralizer. Hope the rest of you get lots of my cock sweat on those chalky hands of yours.

Suck it.
