110202 Overhead Squat
Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
8-10-12-14-16PR-17PR-18kg / 40lb PR

Pleased with 3kg / 6.6lb PR today. My power snatch technique felt great with that 18kg too also a PR!!! wink
My shoulder flexibily is slowly improving but I still need a wide OHS / snatch grip which can be tough on the wrists!

Couldn’t really remember doing snatch balance before so thought I’d try it and see how I got on - kind of a skill wod

110204 Snatch Balance
Snatch balance 3-3-3-3-3
8-10-11-12-12kg / 26lb All PR’s

It felt good so thought I’d see how far I could go. Really pleased with how it went - my shoulders and wrists were feeling tired in that last set.

Just checked my records and I had done this before in April 10 although 1RM not 3RM with just an empty 7kg / 15lb bar and could hardly keep the weight up there and fell on my rear so really pleased with the improvement!! lol I never lost the weight once today (good job too as not good to do in the house), nearly in the last set but I steadied it and finished! So more PR’s for my collection Yeah!! I love crossfit!!!

Note to self:- do these outside in future so that you can dump the weight if nec!
C/O foam rolling and stretching

Excellent day for Progress and PR’s!!!  party
