DWOD 1: "Kalsu"
On the minute:
Complete 5 burpees and perform max rep 135 lbs thrusters on the minute.
The goal is to complete 100 total thrusters.
*At the beginning of every minute perform 5 burpees, for the rest of the minute perform as many thrusters as you can during that minute. At the beginning of the next minute perform 5 burpees and then max rep thrusters and so on until you reach 100 total thrusters.
Scaled it to 75#. Got to 25 thrusters in 5 min and threw in the towel. Weakness identified: strength endurance. Want to be a good bit stronger before I really start targeting this aspect.
DWOD 2:
Complete 5 rounds:
3 Power Snatches
3 Snatch Pulls
3 Power Snatches
*Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
*Do not drop the weight during the round. Stay connected through the round.
*If weight is dropped, count number of drops and perform an equal amount of burpees as a penalty.
*Work up the heaviest set possible with staying connected.
First time doing any type of snatch movement. I could see my form improving through the sets which was nice. Could have gone heavier, but I was conservative with it being a new movement. Did an extra set too: 45-65-75-95-105-115. Are the barbells used for snatching knurled all the way to the ends of the bar? Seemed like I should have taken a wider grip but it was smooth steel and not easy to hang onto.

Skipped it (5x3 power cleans @ 165). Back was toast.
Yes real Oly bars should have knurling all the way to the end of the bar
