I pretty much was gassed out at the end of this by the thrusters. The snatches didn’t bother me too much, but by the last set I was stringing together sets of 3 thrusters to get through it.

4-4-3 as rx’d (@ 75#, which is actually 0.53 BW)

Good enough to tie Boston Mike for third at 11!

To celebrate, I am throwing an impromptu gathering on my roof deck tomorrow night (Friday, 7/3) starting at 9:30 p.m. I know, I’m terrible at last minute planning. For those who I haven’t told, my building fronts the Potomac in Rosslyn, so the view from the roof is a completely unobstructed view of D.C. Granted, no fireworks, but the weather’s supposed to be amazing and the view is awesome. I’ll have some drinks and snacks, but feel free to contribute your favorite beverage. It’ll be a good way to build up to the fireworks on the 4th. E-mail me at aaron.kozuki at gmail for more info and to let me know if you plan to drop by.

First snatch WOD after my foundations. Weight just felt right, once I get the form more proper I probably could push for more rounds or weight….

This was a lot more awful than I expected. Count me in for the 30 reset too!

First round at 75# (34% body weight), rounds 2 and 3 at 65# (29% body weight).

Aaron, I had 1:03 left in the first set when I finished my third round. I could have completed a fourth round but would have been toast.

As I tired in the second set I took more time between exercises, but performed each exercise faster, pacing myself to complete four rounds.

In the third set I rested longer, pacing myself to complete three rounds. I don’t think I could have completed four rounds even if I wanted to.

I’m in for more thrusters!

Had to sub 1 arm DB snatch (55 lb with left arm only due to finger injury)

We need to do Thrusters MORE! I hate them, but as Dan and I were saying…probably the best single X-Fit movement out there!
