245.0
WOD:
Power Snatches
3-3-3-3-3
105-115-115-115-115
1 rep at #125
The pattern at #115 is that the first two reps would be fine and then I would struggle on the last one. The way to go here might be to back off and try to do high reps at #110, like 8 X 5 or something like that. That should actually be doable after today. The other way to go would be to go heavy and just try for 120 or 125 next time. My experience and my gut tells me that I should work at a weight where I can execute the lift properly, which means going down to #110. I think that's the right move.
then:
AMRAP 12 Minutes
10 Back Extensions
10 Situps
5 Burpees
10 1/3 rounds - made it through a complete round of back extensions and six situps before running out of time. Definitely one of my better metcons. Burpees are so much easier now than even 8 weeks ago. I credit a lot of the improvement to the extra strength work I've been doing. My body is just flat out stronger AND leaner AND more flexible, and as a consequence of that, I'm able to put more into the metcons and at the same time get more out of them.
It'll be interesting to see where I am when my body weight gets down to 235 at the end of June and then 220 later on, presumably sometime in the fall. 2010 is really my year for getting this shit straightened out.
