  WoD: "Hanging Tough"

Hang Power Snatch

3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3

.

• Technical heavy day to see out the working week. The hang power snatch is great for working on actually pulling under and receiving the weight. Yesterday we worked on the 1st pull. Today we actually get to work on the 2nd & 3rd pull. The art of jumping & landing is often overlooked or seen as easy and unimportant but it couldn't be further from the truth. Launch yourself up hard and then pull with all your might to get under it again.
• Strength days, or "heavy days" are to be respected within the CrossFit prescription & programming. They are just as valuable as your "metcon" workouts. If you don't work on your strength training and dial in focussed technique you the progress will be harder to come by. These are the days we get to turn the clock off so to speak & not get flustered by "moving for time". There are certainly times for that type of lifting and we incorporate them into timed workouts to develop that side of your fitness.
• But true heavy days are where we get to geek out on the nuances of lifting weight. It is in this "geekery" that we can see & correct our faults properly. Take our time to rest & reflect and make changes in the very next set. Then we can truly test ourselves on what we are actually capable of and work off that in other training going forwards.
• Overall goal today is to start around the 75% region and build as you go.
• Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
• Scale as needed.
