135# snatch x 30
Not for time! BUT do watch the clock. Look for trends and patterns. Experiment with more and less rest. Speed up and slow down. Note the quantity of missed reps. Observe the relationship between form and fatigue. Find what works.

This exercise is so intricate that I can't seem to wrap my tenacity around it and thereby make it my own. The objective to was to take the exercise apart piece by piece and, with any sense of enlightenment, establish a solid semblance of form. The first five reps were performed in less than three minutes. Number six took six failed attempts. The theme was so atypical that frustration ensued and number 12 took about three attempts. After cruising to 20 failure returned. Finally, I got frustrated and did three failed attempts without rest and landed the fourth. Realizing that so much rest wasn't required I hammered out the next nine reps with resting as long as it took me to write down the number. The frustration simply enhanced my focus and resolve. Then I failed on the final rep. Needless to say, I learned a lot, especially what happens when the shoulders get lazy and mind wonders away. There were a total of about 12 failed reps, all attributed to apathy and deviation from the technical approach that this movement demands. 30 reps of C & J compared to the snatch, although both are G2OH, are two completely different animals.
