5.25.11

Missed a couple days because of busy and lazy. Should get back to going to the gym first thing in the morning and get it done.
Day off today after working the weekend.

WOD: 
7 rounds of:
35 double unders
1 snatch

I went to Walmart and bought a jump rope which is far to light to be of any use. Will go back and get the kind with short plastic sections along it’s length.

Didn’t do double unders, did 35 jump ropes as I get used to jumping rope again.
Travis was there in the afternoon so he came and helped me learn to properly do a snatch. After a couple attempts changed to snatching to the chest rather than all the way overhead so that I could learn it better. Did a couple dry-runs before each snatch without weight and no bar, just going through the motion and getting the leg-hip thrust to push the weight up rather than muscling it up with my upper body. Then did the lifts with 75 lbs (25’s on the short 5 foot bar) and did 3 or so each time, to learn it better. 

Did six rounds overall with 3-5 snatches each time. Toward the end I would snatch, then press then squat, then put the bar down. Rotator cuffs were kind of sore today (the next day)
