Snatch Pulls/ Front Squats/ Chad Back Squat!


It has been a very busy last couple of days. I did not have time on Wednesday or Thursday to post. So quick recap of Wednesday training. 
Snatch Hand below knee max x2. 
Ended Up hitting 110k x2 and was feeling a little froggy! So I decided to "Jump" to 120 for a double. 
Attempt #1 - Missed first attempt is front- thought about it too much. 
Attempt #2 - Hit first snatch like a boss, second rep had to take a few breaths before I approached the below knee position. The weight felt heavy in my hands which transferred to my head! I missed the second rep slightly in front. Very happy with hitting the first attempt but still disappointed in rep 2. 
Thursday - Off - extremely sore in the traps/posterior capsule of shoulders. 

Friday
Snatch Pulls from Box @ Knee 
4x4 - 80/90/100/110
2x2 130/130
3x1 140/140/150


Snatch Pulls felt great coming off the box, bar path was exactly what i was looking for. I had a great "Pop" coming off the hip and great vertical transfer. I surprised myself with the 140/150 sets it was feeling so good I didn't want to stop myself. I was joking with my buddy (Chad) before we began lifting and said I would Pull 140. I was very excited to pull that and It felt great. 

Paused Front Squats  2 Sec @ Bottom

70 x3
100x2
120x2
140x2
145x2
150x2
160x2 "Go" call (1/1)

Squats were not as exciting for me today, I had a hard time really staying tight in the bottom position. I tried going for that double at 160 but I ended up getting straight "Pitted" on my second rep. A little frustrated about squats but I have not done a Front Squat Session in depth in a while so I cant get too upset. It can only get better from here is what I keep telling myself. I will pause Squat 190 before I know it. 
Big shout out today for my buddy Chad Workman; he hit an all-time best squat today 200k x5RM (Video Below)
