Crossfit Armoury - September 26, 2017: Speciality Class - Olympic lifting class

Tuesday; September 26, 2017 - Crossfit Armoury - South

Coach:  AJ Facendi

My Thought:
Second week of Olympic lifting on the south side.  It's always nice to visit with the Crossfit Armoury family.  

Olympic lifting - Snatches / Clean & Jerks
Programming for today

Snatches:
Continuing working on my snatches, fine tuning the progress I've made.  Considering that I hit a new PR yesterday, 155 lb.   I opted to build up to a heavy set for the 1 Pull + 1 Low Hang Snatch + 1 High Hang Snatch.  

I started with 75 lb, 95, 115, and 135 lb following the suggested pattern.  After I had hit 135 lb, I decided to stop and leave it at that.  Again, feeling it a bit from the workout yesterday. I usually take a day of rest between Oly class; but tonight, it was calling me to come.  Plus, it brings a smile to my face when I do Olympic lifting.   I'll admit, it felt pretty good, these lifts.  I may have to add this to the days I'm working on Accessory or just practice days.

Clean & Jerk:

The exercise today calls for C&J Waves.  Using the percentages (I love these now, more and more) as show; we worked at our own pace.   It was more of a challenge at the 80, 85, and 90% stage.   As you get do that same rep scheme, three times!!   As coach AJ said; it's tough; but it will build strength!   Yup, this is what I need to get over my hump.

Misc:
It was mentioned in our internal private FB group that next week; we would be doing Max weight testing.  Always excited to see my progress on this.
