Power Snatch (95#)
Burpees Over the Bar

This wrecked me, but for weird reasons. My lower back started to blow up after the first couple of rounds. I hurt my back in a heavy-ish snatch back in February, and this is the first time I’ve snatched since then. So, I think my lower back is just out of condition for this.

Also, my shoulders were a wreck. I think it might have just been the snatch combined with the burpees being a lot of shoulder work.

(Also, I’m just not really-well conditioned right now. Seriously.)

It took me a long time to get through this. I had to sit down between a few of the rounds just to get my lower back calmed down a bit.

But, it got done.
