PR SNATCH 40K..Finally!

SNATCH DAY


Crossfit Girl Camille Leblanc-Bazinet- Snatch
I've been focusing on my snatch for the past few weeks because my form has been TERRIBLE and I've been stuck with 38k since August and even that was with terrible form. 
"butt down, chest up, bar close, wait to pull, jump and get under it" REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT. lol
After countless days and hours of my boyfriend coaching and repeating this same thing to me over and over again, it clicked last week and I finally started snatching with good form! 
I practiced a lot with 35k today and even took a few videos to look back and look at my form. I felt confident to go higher so I tried 37, then 38 and then 40! I failed 40 three times right at the bottom! I couldn't squat back up with it and I even dropped it and hit my tailbone! Luckily, it's just bruised and I feel fine. I was still very eager to snatch 40 so I tried again and did it! Can't wait to snatch again and hit another PR because it definitely can't stop at 40 or else I'm never going to the games...Bahahaha

Turkish Get Ups!

NOVEMBER 7 WOD

Crossfit Chick Julie Foucher

A. Handstand Practice + Weighted Pull-Ups 

- I practiced strict pullups and chin ups with a 10lb dumbbell. Chin ups felt easy but I need to work on my strict weighted pull ups more! I also practiced handstand pushups (5 sets of 3)


B. Perform The Following For 18 Min
 
    Odd Min 3TGU (Heavy as possible)
    Even Min 15 Box Jump 30/24


- I used a 20kg KB for the turkish get ups which were really tough! My last 3 sets of box jumps were exhausting and I only got through ten of them. I'm glad I used a heavy weight for the TGU but I need to practice more with my left arm so I don't exhaust my right arm too much. All my reps were done with my right arm...killed me!!!
