Power Training!!!

Man...great workout this morning. One move I'm starting to enjoy is the Hang Power Snatch! Here's a video of the movement of a guy snatching 135 lbs (I'm far from that!). But here it is:



Left the ego at the doorway upon entering the work gym this morning...played around doing the movement with a bar for a bit and had a great run of sets progressively using 5lb plates til I worked up to a 95 lb load for a 4x5 routine of Hang Power Snatches. Look pretty weak as I was looking at the loads on each side - but man it felt great!

Nice one...just finishing off my home gym so that's pretty much been taking my time this past week so I haven't been blogging much...but training has been consistent with Dos' workout since my week off. High volume but having a good time with it.
