Fitness - Ring Dips - Dumbbell Snatch WOD - 10/27

My glutes and hamstrings were incredibly tight this morning. All those weighted lunges rocked me yesterday. I was glad to get some dip work in today though. It felt good to give the old legs a rest.

Focus: Dips/Ring dips, 4x8-10
1x10 - ring dips
3x8 - weighted ring dips - 16 Kg (35#)

This was a battle and it felt good to heavy on this skill. I focused on going super deep at the bottom and locking out to the extreme at the top of the dip. I really tried to exaggerated the range of motion. On the last set I had to break it up into 2 sets of 4.

WOD: Dumbbell snatch,
1xAs many reps as possible in 15 minutes - 40# dumbbell

Score: 302
Calories burned (focus & WOD): 492

I don't know what happened but I really wanted to get after this one. I felt really jacked up as soon as the countdown started. I wanted to get 300 reps, which broke down into 20 reps per minute. I was determined to be the first to post a score over 300.

I shot out of the gate and did 10 reps each arm for only 2 rounds. I knew that i wouldn't be able to keep that up for the entire time but I wanted to get out to a quick start. After that I took it down and switched arms after every 5 reps. I had a non-stop pace going for a while. I took my first break with about 6 minutes left. Then another short break with about 2 minutes left, then gave it a final push.

Overall, I'm really happy with my effort. A good bit of work put in at the gym today for sure.
