Just got done with it.
Got 103 reps... basically got 3 @ 135 lol. Feel good about it though, never done a Snatch w/o with more than 95# so pretty amped on getting 3.
Fucking brutal...pace yourself on the burpees, no reason to rush through them...

142 reps for me  Was hoping for 150, but damn I have never done power snatches that heavy after 70 burpees, lol.
Yeah, 135 was heavy as fuck. I'm not a strong guy by any means, good technique got me through this for sure.

Peer pressure get to you?  Nice job man.
Honestly I think it was a pretty brilliant workout. It equally punishes people who are good at bodyweight movements vs. the big strong guys, so the two movements together are a really good equalizer.

The weights for the men were fucked IMO...but I agree the design was good, too heavy if you ask me

Not necessarily... You have to realize that if you think you have any shot at competing at the games, your minimum snatch should be around average 270lbs, back squat around 400lbs, and deadlift around 5-600, clean needs to be 300... these are all calculated by men who compete.
So if you want to qualify to make it to regionals you have to be able to compete with those dudes, so that's where the weights for the men come from. And people are punishing themselves left and right and a huge debate is going on about steroids right now since supposed testing is done, but who sees the results and what official athletic commission recognizes the cf games?
Really I hate to sound sexist, and I'm not sure what good weights for the women are, but I don't really think anyone gives a shit to be quite honest. As long as they're out there in booty shorts, and branded up looking hot. It's only when it comes to the games that the weights start to get heavy.

Most people aren't trying to beat Rich Froning, and to be honest with you, Kenneth Leverich if he's healed will probably come closest if Matt Chan doesn't get injured.

Anyone do 13.2 yet? Did it this morning and 226 reps. Box jumps are definitely the limiter with this one.

Box jumps were brutal - last two rounds I was stepping....the overhead killed me.
