I'm sorry but if it's the first time you've done snatch 50KG is not light in any way! Which CrossFit gym do you train at cos that is irresponsible coaching at best, dangerous at worse. No CrossFit hate because I'm big on it and use it to great success!

 

[luggy3]

Oh really? Well I worked up to it, not just jumped in at 50kg. Plus we did tech work with PVC pipe first, just haven't logged it! It felt pretty light to be honest, coach was overseeing me personally for quite a lot of it too.

You are on a good workout routine. It will give you pure muscles and you will lose FAT.
I prefer lifting heavy weights after a cardio session.

Keep it up. The more consistently you work the greater results you will get!

 

[GSVBagpuss]

Good stuff - I know how heavy a 24kg KB is!

 

[JammieR]

Focus more on Legs.. They are hard to build.

 

[luggy3]

Cheers guys, much appreciated. I'm in a box Jammie, so I don't get to chose the programming, to be honest just doing this for general health / fitness more than anything else so not too worried about building anything up etc.

Tuesday 5th June - Barbell Club

Fancied doing some more technique work on the lifts and also going a little more heavy with less focus on the WOD of normal classes, loved it.

WU lots of PVC Pipe Tech work

20 mins of tech work and working up to a heavy weight for a complex of 2 front squat into 1 split jerk. Front rack position still very poor, wrist flexabilty hindering me a lot. Found I couldn't re grip the bar fully to do the split jerk so on heavier weights had to drop it, clean it up and then jerk and the two front squats. Ended up at 75kg.

10 min EMOM increasing load of:

1 Power Clean
1 hang squat Clean
1 jerk

Finished at 65kg, first time doing full squat cleans for me so more work to do on the technique.
