Friday 210827 Power Snatch and Parallettes

When was the last time you went all out in a workout?  I mean all out.  From 3, 2, 1, GO- you set off full speed ahead with no regard for when you would hit the wall?  When was the last time you scoffed at strategizing and timing out each round so that you would avoid “blowing up”?  Believe it or not, there IS a time and a place for deciding to forget about planning how fast execute a set of reps.  In fact, if you train for too much time without pushing to find the edge… how do you know you are actually even approaching those boundaries any more?  Make some room in your training to go out HARD… maybe even purposefully trying to bite off more than you THINK you can chew.  This is not only where learning occurs… but it is also where mental toughness is gained, and where now-found levels of intensities are experienced.  Even if the end result of the workout is that it took you longer than it would have if you played it safe… you should try it every now and then.  Maybe that day is TODAY?!

5 rounds for time:
10 Power snatch (50/35kg)
15 Strict parallette push-ups
Post time, load, and scaling

Intended Stimulus
Plan on spending a lot of time working on the power snatch today with light loads. Then, when it’s workout time, find a load that allows you to complete 10 reps in 2 sets. Singles on the power snatches from the beginning means you went too heavy. But 10 reps unbroken means too light! The 15 push-ups should be done in 3 sets or fewer. The parallettes make these slightly easier than a normal push-up, but being elevated means you cannot sag through the midline at all! Go all out on this one and post your PR to the chalk board!
