Feeling a Little Accomplished

5×2 squat snatch - 35lbs.

 

Then….

Five rounds for time of: 16:27

12 Push press, 12 reps (35lbs.)
40 meter Shuttle sprint (4 x 10 meters)
8 Squat snatch (35lbs.)

 

I didn't think I would like this WOD but I ended up liking it!  I felt like I actually improved with the lifts.  My feet may not have come off the floor a lot but I did hear them hit the floor several times.  I think I'm finally getting over my fear of jumping and just dealing with my self conscious issues.  I didn't get all the lifts done correctly but I gave it my all and tried as hard as I could. 

 

Those push presses really were easier when I used my hips and legs.  I did almost take my chin off with one of them.  Guess I need to get my head out of the way - LOL! 

 

Those squat snatches are hard.  Those take a lot of concentration.  Shrugging my shoulders is clearly not my specialty.  Locking my arms was also an issue.  But the few times I got it right or should I say came close to getting it right I could feel the difference with using my legs and hip.
