05/18/15 gymnastics cycle day five

A. 25:00+ Snatching to a heavy single
Focus on moving feet. Stopped when feet stopped moving. Finished at 150(68kg). Then hit three perfect singles at 121(55kg). 
B. 2 rounds:
5 rope climbs
10 snatches at 73#
20 ub thrusters
40 double unders
Rest 1:1
13:34
Waiting to go unbroken in something is a good mental focus to get better on pushing thresholds. Teaches me to go more on feeling and forces you to fight for reps. Dubs were a nightmare today. Maybe all the shoulders. Shoe was untied in first one, stupid shit that I need to tighten up. 

PM:
A. 2 muscle ups every 1:15×6
B. 1 muscle up every :35×7
C. 1 muscle up every :40×3: got shitty here and habits came back. But finished.
D. Weighted semi pronated pull ups on rings
6×3-4: 4@5#, 4@7.5#, 4@10#, 4@12#, 3@15, 3@15

05/15/15 gymnastics cycle day three

Friday:
A. Stairs 5×5, 35kg for one, 45kg for rest
B. Snatch: green plates to force feet to jump hard and move. Fix receiving position, feel bar further behind head. More weight in heels. Need to focus on: more upward movement, no worming under the bar, jumping hard, using the lats to pull back on the bar, receive the bar behind ears.
Climbed by 5# as much as possible to get lots of reps.
Ended at 160#, but felt the feet fail to move. Finished at 121# to re-enforce good positions.
C. Stairs 5×5, 45kg
D. 1RM deficit HSPU: 9.5″
E. 7×2 2” deficit HSPU: Did as EMO:30 to give myself some understanding of rest. Could maybe go to :25.
F. 5 legless rope climbs, and legless on the way down: 3 as written. 2 I could only climb to about 12’. I even waited 2:00 or so to see if it’d help. It didn’t help. My finger tips went. Bad kip. Still needs work.
G. 5k AFAP: 29:02

05/13/15 gymnastics cycle day two

Wednesday:
A. Barbell snatch work: 
Reset bottom position: allow bow of the knees at the bottom set up but should drive theough quads to come up. Create swoop with bar to create upward motion. Get onto toes!!!! Inward rotation of elbows. High pull upward. No shrug. Slam your effin feet. Hard. Like some Russian. 
B1. Muscle snatch 
B2. 3-position snatch with perfect feet: 116#
Spent 45:00 snatching so I figured I should move on. 
C. 50 shoulder taps. Really fast. Got weak in the core. Did 38, then 8, then 4. 
D. Row
10:00: :35on/:25off: 1400 meters
160m/151m/153m/153m/154m/155m/155m/156m/155m/160m. HR: 156. Peak 169
Should probably aim for higher meter count. 165 average to push it. 
20:00 steady pace: 4238 meters
0-10:00 chased 2:20. Averaged 2:18. HR: 150
10:00-20:00 chased 2:15. Averaged 2:16. HR: 150
