You're using 35#'s on the pull-ups? That's solid back strength man.

You're using 35#'s on the pull-ups? That's solid back strength man.

Yes sir! And thank you! Despite not training pull ups very hard, they seem to be my strength judging by my previous TSC scores relative to deadlifting and snatching. I am gonna hit them for a while though and am excited to see how they improve!

-this was a lot on the hands. No blisters but my hands couldn’t have taken many more snatches. May have to separate snatches onto a different day since deadlifts and weighted pull ups are already tough on the hands. All lifts felt good though!

-First time doing 10r sets of snatches as part of a workout! Definitely need to warm up more thoroughly before doing these but they felt pretty good.
-4x8 of front squats was brutal!
-Have a great Friday!

Gorgeous! Where is this?!

 

[NoahMarek]

@The Nail This was at the top of King’s Mountain from Saturday’s hike and today I did Elk Mountain. Both are part of the Tillamook State Forest in Oregon. It’s breathtaking!

Snatch plan 044B week 1 day 2
32kg, 120 snatches
-I wanted to sample the medium day from this program. It was very challenging and the weight is definitely a bit too heavy for me at this point but I should be ready soon. I will probably do a modified version of the program for a while until I can break into the regular one. I also got a small blister on my palm but it was due to grip fatigue and overgripping the bell. Early sets felt great!
Bench press 155lb 4x8
Back squat 225lb 5x5
Curls 60lb 2x10
-No FPP today since my hands were a bit beat up from snatches. They will resume either tomorrow or Friday.
-Back squats felt REALLY good! I could feel that my upper hamstrings and adductors were working in ways they aren’t used to. Great training session!
