Oct 17-19 Oly Cert and Bens WOD for Mon

So Shane and I went to the CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certification in San Antonio at Alamo CrossFit this weekend.  What a great cert!  My hats off to Alamo CrossFit for hosting it and most importantly to Coach Burgener for the great training.  Coach B and his staff were extremely well organized and fun to be around.  I learned more in 2 days than in my entire 2 years as a CrossFiter in the Oly lifts.  Cant wait to see the technique, drills, and improved knowledge lead to better lifts.  I know it is going to take a ton of reps and a bunch of time but I feel like I will be able to move forward from here.  Most importantly, Shane and I had a blast.  We trained hard during the day, ate Paleo and then tore it up in the evening (courtesy of the Flying Saucer).  

So today I did the following:

Burgener WarmUp

Skill Progression at 45, 75, and 95.

Snatch Balance x2 at 115, 125, 135, and 145(fail)

Then 3 Pos Snatch (hang, pockets, mid thigh)x2 at 75 and 95

Then Snatch 95, 115, 125

Then 4 Rounds

400m run

20 Pullups

I didnt get too heavy on the Snatch becasue I could tell my technique was starting to suck after 125 and I want to keep drilling it before I step it up, but on a positive note this was the first time I took 125 to the hole and felt solid doing it.  Baby Steps.  No time on the WOD just went hard before I had to take my Pullup bar down before the move.
