Snatch 1 RM
70kg(pr)
Metcon: As a team of 3, complete AMRAP in 10 minutes of:
6 chest-to-bar pull-ups
9 deficit hand-release push-ups (10kg plates)
12 kettlebell goblet squats (24kg)
Notes: This was a huge accomplishment for me. I set a goal of snatching 70kg back in January 2011 after the Baltimore Open. I power snatched 65kg at that meet and figured I'd be snatching 70kg in no time. It has taken me almost two full years to reach my goal, but it sure felt great. I knew things were going well after one of my warm-up attempts when I felt the bar launch from my hips and become weightless. It felt like my high-pulls and I tried to keep that feeling in my head the rest of the day. I hit 65kg with ease and then moved to 70kg. I have tried 70kg many times over the last few years but always fail to get under the bar. This time, I pulled violently under the bar, but still managed to miss the first two attempts, once in front and once behind. I pumped myself up and nailed the third attempt. It was easy to stand up with and it makes me think that I have more in the tank. My new goal is 75kg. Here's to hoping it doesn't take two more years to reach.
