One word....SNATCH

This has been quit the week! I had a long week with school and getting my WODS in. Monday I did a RUDY WOD from Outlaw.

We did a sets of 3 of clean deadlifts. I did mine at 135lb. Probably a little too light for this wow but the deadliest portion of a clean done alone is slightly awkward especially when nobody knows that is what you're doing and gives you some precarious looks. Jake helped me out a little bit with my setup and I think it helped a lot. Then we did hang power cleans from the knee. I did it at 95lb. It was pretty good and I feel like Im getting quicker! Sort of. My elbows arm faster but I donkey kick a little still. After we did a WOD that was 4 rounds of 40 double unders, 12 thrusters, and 12 C2B pull-ups. Rest 3 minutes in between each round. I HATE pull-ups and thrusters together. The bar hitting you in the chest every time gives ya no air for everything else. Bobby was having an off day on his double unders. The second round he was doing them and out of my peripheral vision all I see is two handles fly out of his hands and of course, Im a jerk, I start laughing and messed up too. Oopsie :)

Tuesday I worked out with Ben for an hour. We did some good old fashioned snatch. I got 95lbs finally solid! I was so stoked! It is really crazy when I actually have patience, set up correctly, get my knees back, and let myself open up all the way. When the snatches get heavy I have a tendency to go into chicken mode, which means I cop out. But With Ben there its impossible to be a chicken. Yesterday after I failed 3 times Ben said, "You need to be aggressive! I figured out that everything can be solved with sheer aggression." ah Ben, that's why I love you! and it helped....I almost got 95 on the next try. I did get it again. Its really crazy when you get a snatch because its almost effortless when you're in the right position.

Wednesday was my resssst day.

Thursday I spent 90 minutes in hellish hot yoga. It actually wasn't that bad this time but still......
and then funny story. I was making the bed (while standing on it) as I was putting the sheet down it caught the edge of the bed and I yanked it and whoops both my hands slipped off the sheet and I went gracefully flying backwards into the wall and just kept on falling right onto the ledge of the window seal. It felt awesome on the back of my ribcage, especially because it knocked the wind out of me. Bobby managed to miss the whole fiasco. Im SUPPPPER coordinated if ya couldn't tell :) No bruise though, just a little red mark.

FRIDAY! So the open WOD 12.2 was released on Wednesday night and here it is....
10 min AMRAP
30 snatches at 45 lbs
30 snatches at 75lbs
30 snatches at 100lbs
and however many you can put in at 120 lb (yeah right!)

This was an interesting WOD for me. Before the WOD today I snatched 100lbs! YAH PR!! In the WOD I felt great doing it at 45 and 75. I got 100 lb one time! I failed 6 or 7 times though. I was really happy with that though since I just PRed TODAY. Going to the SNATCH clinic tomorrow (haha) Ben is doing at the gym.

Tonight I went to the grocery store to get some ICECREAM....paleo ice-cream. I was verrry tempted to get some non-paleo ice-cream but Bobby keeps me in line! I got the Coconut Bliss dark decadence and it was so good AND paleo! :)

Somedays I feel like a crazy crack head. I see someone on campus eating some pizza and I want to tackle them, take it away, and EAT IT! Yesterday I caught myself thinking about eating a grilled cheese sandwhich and I had to STOP myself. Thats the worse thing you can do when you're trying to eat healthy. We went to Boise Fry Company tonight and its the best place for paleo naughtiness. I had a bison burger (minus the bun) with sweet potato fries and blueberry ketchup (not entirely sure that last part is paleo but Im going to ignore that little part :)

WELLL this has been a super boring post I know but maybe I will have some more SNATCH stories for you next time and less falling off the bed stories ;)
