Third go of our new Snatch Complex.  %s stay the same, but the rep count goes up, so time for each set goes up to 4 min.  Again, make sure the bar comes to a complete stop between the Snatch Pull and Power Snatch.  Want to make sure we set up in the proper position prior to hitting that Power Snatch.

Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member was killed February 7, 2013 in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Simmons’ wife and two children.  Go for big chunks, but do NOT let your back round over as you come down with the weight.  The weight will feel light, but if your form goes south, you can really tax that low back in a bad way.

Second run at Sumo Deadlifts this cycle.  Again, looking to create some good strength throughout the posterior chain and add some hip flexibility in as well.  In your setup: brace your core, push your knees out, get the hips close to the bar without losing tension, then explode in the lift, and squeeze the glutes at the top instead of over-extending the back.

You’ll have to push the pace to make it under the cap today, but that’s what we want to see, all out effort no matter where we end
