I like it. On paper. I want a single 165lb snatch and I will be ecstatic. It is going to hurt though.

i like it too and i would like it even more if my shoulder wasn't messed up. those snatches are going to hurt. i am scared of the 30 snatches at 135 since that is pretty much my limit with my shoulder.

That's Isabel, which I've done in 3:54 when fresh, and my snatch is definitely better now. If I can get to the 135lb bar with 10 minutes left, I think I can get back to the 165 bar and try to get one.

that's not really fair since you have that epic beard to give you strength like Samson. i have nothing but my busted body and school girl strength.

you did that whole workout in 3:54? I think I missed something somewhere.

No the 30x135 round is Isabel, which I've done in 3:54. My goal is to get to the 135 bar with 10-11 minutes left, get the 30x135 done, if I can get a single every 10 seconds, that will be 5 minutes, every 12 seconds would be 6 minutes. Leaving me 4-5 minutes to get 20 more burpees, change weight and try for a 165 snatch.

13.1 is going to be tough.
I don't even have a 1RM for snatch of 135 yet(max was 115 last time I tried but pretty confident I could get 125). My plan is to get to the 135 snatches and try to get at least 1. If I do, I'll be happy. |

Alright gang, question on mobility and massage. My hip flexors and hamstrings are a tight mess and it's really compromising my form on a lot of exercises. Deadlifts, kettle bell swings, squats and a lot of basic movements are tough for me. My trainers have said it's at the point where they're going to have me avoid certain exercises in order to not hurt myself and have warned me that my back could be pretty F'd up by the time I'm 50. What the hell do I know, besides the fact that it's already tough for me to get my socks on (it's funny now... ). But they would like me to start with a weekly routine of mobility training mixed with an hour massage. I guess I'm the only one that can answer this and I'm more thinking out loud, but how much money do I really want to spend on fitness a month? And can I really consider this fitness or more health? There's no doubt that it would be beneficial, as I'm quite the Tin Man, but that's the cost of a car payment on massages and whatnot. Coincidentally, I'm about to go from having no car payment to having one any time now, so yeah, I guess I'm just not sure I want to make going to the gym/fitness that big of an investment in my life.
Anyone deal with something similar or have an opinion on the matter? |

my mobility is also not that great so i do a LOT of stuff at home or while at work. for example, at work i normally take off my shoes and spend an hour+ rolling my feet on a lacrosse ball. also, i bought one of those sticks and i can sit at work for hours and roll the stick over my legs, quads etc.. at home, i do a lot of mobility work with foam roller, lacross ball and bands and i can tell you that it all makes a huge difference. there are a lot of great free resources out there for mobility like Kelly Staret and most of the stuff you can do at home for free while watching TV. yesterday i did the one where you stay at the bottom of the squat for as long as it takes you to finish a glass of wine. |

From experience I know that yoga will improve flexibility. With the p90x stuff i've been doing, it has yoga every week, and it has definitely helped me. I'm nearing completion of it and I was looking into joining a crossfit gym when i'm done, but I was thinking about how the yoga is actually going to help me with a lot of the moves. Before the p90 i did some crossfit routines, but, like you I suffered from poor flexibility in some areas. Specifically my hip flexors/shoulders. Excited to see how it works out for me now that i've built a solid base/better core and i'm more flexible.
And as for cost.. sounds like it could get expensive. I was checking the prices of a crossfit gym near me and for 7 days a week access it's 150$ a month. Thats a lot. I couldn't imagine spending 150 + mobility session + massage.. Theres a lot of things you can be trying at home to help yourself before dropping a bunch of cash. |

If you have mobility issues, DeFranco's Agile 8 is a must!

Thanks for the tips, guys. I've taken a myofascial release class so I have the foam roller, tennis and golf ball here and some under my desk at work. We just started offering morning yoga classes at the gym, maybe I'll do that once a week. The Agile 8 sounds like good stuff! Thanks again.

Prior to tonight 125 was my snatch PR but that was a while ago in a comp. came in and went after 135 and got all 5 attempts. Burpees went well, kept them moving at least. 5 rep sets for the 75lb snatches Slower burpees this time but still moving, finish with 5:00 left for 135lb. Get the first rep messy power snatch and then fail the next bunch of tries and hit myself in the head, Not a bad day to PR. |

Very nice congrats on the PR! I went with 185, 210 is a bit too much for me lol! But I finished 11:32 on the clock and finished 22 amrap at 185. My shoulders are rocked right now.
I am still kinda new and we didn't do our scores. Been trying to figure out all morning how to do that. Last edited by kb91hatch; 03-08-2013 at 07:19 AM. |

Grats on the PR. I'm hoping to do pretty much the same thing. If I can hit a single snatch at 135 I'll be pumped.
My box has set times for everyone to get together and do it. Some are doing it today and tonight, and then a big session on Sunday(which is when I will be doing it). As far as mobility goes, I've become a big fan of K-Star and his crew. They offer up a lot of good information(and since I'm still fairly new to this whole world, its easily understandable) |

Ugh, I underestimated how much cardio/endurance the first stages of 13.1 requires. Warmed up first, did 5-6 75lb snatches, 3-4 135lb snatches and 3 165s, 2 power, one dropping under (no misses), so I felt great going in. I got through the 40 burpees in 3 minutes, pacing steady, went a little slow on the 75lb but was back on the burpees at about 5 minutes, did the next 30 burpees and changed the weight at 9-10 minutes. Then went way too slow on the 135s. Realized about halfway through and started to pick up the pace but it was too late. Couldn't get to the next set of burpees. 126 officially. Totally mental on the 135s, because the lifts went easy, but the rest between them was far too long. Gonna go again on Saturday. Not that I'm going to the games, but dammit I wanna get to that next set of burpees! It turns out my decent ability to snatch was of zero benefit on the wod because the first 100 reps is pretty much just straight cardio.
