raise your hand if you like the snatch...

ok, so, today was an excellent WOD to start off the week. It consisted of the snatch and the ring dip. the snatch is one of the more complicated weight movements (and one i have really never done before) that encompasses several weight movements in one. there are elements of other weight movements, but unlike a clean or a push press this movement is all in one fluid motion. i could have probably done a little more weight, but seeing as this was my first time i checked my ego at the door and settled on form over weight. here was the WOD

7nds for time of:

5 snatches (i did 65#)

15 ring dips

time 11:13

all the while i had the band "as i lay dying" blasting in my ears, i swear to god i could have thrown the bar across the gym hahahaha. there is something liberating about picking weight off the ground and flinging it over your head. i loved the work out and the coaching. below is the weight movement, and a little "as i lay dying" to send you off to bed... maybe i like this band because it shares the name of a favorite book by my favorite author
