Snatch – heavy single; 85% of that x 1 x 3
Clean & jerk – heavy single; 85% of that 1 x 3
Unlimited: Weighted sit-ups – 3 x 10
3/week: 3:00 row for meters OR Thruster challenge
You’re going to need to build up to your heavy singles at a moderate to fast pace to finish this workout within the hour.
7 days left to register a score for the thruster challenge. (yeah, I said that yesterday…. but this time for real!) Maybe we will do burpees throughout July in honour of all those who choose not to put up a thruster challenge score 
Categories: clean & jerk, snatch
I’m confused about this work out, are you asking for a 3 rep max? Or are we doing 85% of our one rep max once, three times?
When we’re doing weighted sit ups, are we hooking our feet under anything or not? What weight is recommended for holding?
@Will
Work up to your one rep max and then take 85% of that for 3 singles
Weighted sit ups, make it heavy. You can anchor your feet but keep those hips down!
Snatch = 85p 1RM (need to work on technique)
C&J = 135 (again, need to work on jerk technique)
Thruster challenge = 24
Weighted situps 30/35/40# DB
To B – your name is not on that Thruster board yet, hmmmmm
I am well aware of the fact that I have 7 days left
I think it’s about time I post comments…I read them 20 times a day so I might as well jump in! haha
Snatch – 65#, wish I could have done more but too painful on the shoulder injury…
C&J and weighted situps – didn’t do, will do tonight instead
Was a little nervous about the “Thruster Challenge” but gave it a whirl and did 36 reps at 65#.
Want to try it again next week maybe…are we allowed B? T?
PS. Good job on your Thrusters Shawnee!
Thrust away people!!! I do not want any sort of burpee challenge 8 months pregnant!
I will make my last attempt at thrusters this week Thurs or Fri.
@MLC
you are totally right !! B – what is your excuse???
@Suzanne
Suz – you are my hero, kicking all our butts at 7-8 months pregnant!
@Suzanne
Suz – you are a force to be reckoned with!
Jo, good to hear from you!
OH MY GOODNESS…Smokey Jo…??…As in my eco partner ???@Smokey Jo
Snatch:
135-140
85% of 140 = 120ish x6
Clean/Jerk:
115-135-155-165F
85% of 155 = 135ish x4
Used a 45lb plate on my chest and the GH extender thingy for the sit ups.
^— 16-18-20 for the sit ups
Snatch 55lb….I am not a fan of snatch
clean and jerk 85lb… reckon I coulda gone heavier but it was one of them days.
Got my thruster challenge in but I say BURPEES bring em on Brendan
Heavy Snatch 175#: disappointed with that, I have done 185# but did not have the form today
Heavy Clean and Jerk 240# (PB), tried 245# 3 times, clean is no problem but I need to work on the jerk
Never had time to get to the sit ups.
Snatch – went up to 70# on split snatch
Clean & Jerk – hit a pr at 110#, felt easy, but failed multiple times on jerk at 115#
Just realized that this was 4th training day in a row.
@Tapout
Tapout? As in Nicole, The Queen of the Eco Challenge???
