4/26/12 WOD- Isabel

My WOD with a name! Isabel 30 reps for time: Snatch (135, 95) The snatch is a lot harder to do than it seems. Getting the right form is not easy! Apparently it takes years of practice. I am super uncoordinated, so it would be particularly the case for me! I did more than 30 reps, but I did the girl bar alone (which is around 20lbs). It took me a while to figure out the correct form. I need to remember: start with feet slightly apart, jump up, pushing the bar over my head with my hips, and land with my feet farther apart (in a squat position). My arms should stay straight the whole time. It shouldn't be an arm workout, but rather a hip workout. I am confident that next time, I will be able to get a least a little weight on the bar! Snatch (135,95) (I did the 20lbs. bar alone) Wobby did the 20lbs. bar with two 10lbs. plates for a total of 40lbs. Wobby had good form, particularly towards the end.
