Today's Workout:
Build to a 1RM snatch
- 185#, New 5# PR.
Missed this lift nearly 9 times. Pulled it plenty high and was under it plenty. I simply couldn't stay tight and as soon as Simon (thanks buddy!) told me to get tight under, it went up pretty "easily."
After a gentleman was finished with his WOD, he mentioned something that has come to define me from since I was young(er). I quote:
"I would bet $100 you miss that lift after 9 misses...and you stuck it!" Now he didn't mean this negatively, just simply noting that neurologically and psychologically, everything was against me. This sums up exactly who I am. I'll miss 9/10 but all that counts is that 1 moment where it all goes right. It only takes 1 try. Never quit and never say never.
Footnote: in competition you get 3 lifts. I need to fix my ish for next time. Ie practice snatch balances and work on receiving tight.
