i kept getting 165 to the bottom of the squat and not balancing it. I had to stay at it till I got it. Finally did. I feel like I have the strength to do 185 , but my speed under the bar and balance in the bottom isn’t there yet. More to work on.

Empty barbell. 45#s went slow & focused on form. Right 🦶🏽 arch is in a world of pain. I have no idea what I did to it. Wrapped it & wore lifters for stability.
The snatch balance was a move I dont have experience with and proved more challenging. Good day practicing all these moves.

Snatch is my weak link. I borrowed Chris S ideas and did 100 reps of 1 snatch style, broken randomly (never more than 10 straight), at WAY WAY LOW weights (between 12lbs and 55lbs). I selected:
Heaving Snatch Balance
Reps: 8 at 12#, 12 at 25#, 20 at 35#, 10 each at 45# and 55#, and 35 at 30#
A YouTube video I found endorsed the Heaving for weak upper body folk like me. I agree 100%. Because your feet stay planted, you can focus on the dip and drive, and then bar placement, without missing the landing.
Overall, this wasn't exactly a "WOD" but I got a lot of practice at a big deficiency.

I think usually when we see this kind of workout, you would do some warm-up sets building in weight.
You can either build to a target weight and do that for all sets, or add weight each set until you get to a max for the day.
In this second option, depending on the movement and the reps, the first "working" set could often be around 70-80% of a one-rep max.

Being stuck in a room with nothing but resistance bands and towels made this interesting. Couldn’t perform any form of a snatch despite my best efforts because of band anchoring needs.
20 minutes of SLIPS
Then
150 reps of overhead squat using bands and a towel (to help with lateral stabilization due to pull of the bands). No real pattern to rep scheme - just played with the different bands until I reached 150 total.
Then
10 more minutes of squats and plank variations

Been following CrossFit.com now for a few months and my progress is formidable.
Power snatch - jumping with a heavy weight and a transition position with an emphasis on upright torso and pushing (overhead)
Snatch balance - jumping with heavy weight, same as above, emphasis on landing
Snatch - jumping with a heavy weight, same as above, emphasis on range of motion
WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT
Boz does a good job of explaining it. I'd also add that it kind of progress from jump (power snatch), to land (snatch balance), to jump and land (snatch).
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Pick one movement and do 150 reps of it at a light weight. Split it up into however many sets you want.
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Pick the same weight for every set on each lift. On the snatch balance, it's okay to drop, re-rack, and do the second rep.
INTENSITY SCALE
As is.
MY STUFF
Did a lot of snatch balance reps at a light weight, worked up to 155, and then felt the basketball calling my name more than the bar, so shot around for a while.

75.95.95.115. Failed at 135
Overall, my depth wasn't there. Weak pull off ground and add from the hips
Snatch is my weak link. I borrowed Chris S ideas and did 100 reps of 1 snatch style, broken randomly (never more than 10 straight), at WAY WAY LOW weights (between 12lbs and 55lbs). I selected:
Heaving Snatch Balance
Reps: 8 at 12#, 12 at 25#, 20 at 35#, 10 each at 45# and 55#, and 35 at 30#
A YouTube video I found endorsed the Heaving for weak upper body folk like me. I agree 100%. Because your feet stay planted, you can focus on the dip and drive, and then bar placement, without missing the landing.
Overall, this wasn't exactly a "WOD" but I got a lot of practice at a big deficiency.
Are the 5 sets including the warm-up sets?
what I’m asking is are we taking 5 sets to build to a solid weight?
Thanks.
I think usually when we see this kind of workout, you would do some warm-up sets building in weight.
You can either build to a target weight and do that for all sets, or add weight each set until you get to a max for the day.
In this second option, depending on the movement and the reps, the first "working" set could often be around 70-80% of a one-rep max.
Kerrie. Results there.

Being stuck in a room with nothing but resistance bands and towels made this interesting. Couldn’t perform any form of a snatch despite my best efforts because of band anchoring needs.
20 minutes of SLIPS
Then
150 reps of overhead squat using bands and a towel (to help with lateral stabilization due to pull of the bands). No real pattern to rep scheme - just played with the different bands until I reached 150 total.
Then
10 more minutes of squats and plank variations

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS
Power snatch - jumping with a heavy weight and a transition position with an emphasis on upright torso and pushing (overhead)
Snatch balance - jumping with heavy weight, same as above, emphasis on landing
Snatch - jumping with a heavy weight, same as above, emphasis on range of motion
WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT
Boz does a good job of explaining it. I'd also add that it kind of progress from jump (power snatch), to land (snatch balance), to jump and land (snatch).
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Pick one movement and do 150 reps of it at a light weight. Split it up into however many sets you want.
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Pick the same weight for every set on each lift. On the snatch balance, it's okay to drop, re-rack, and do the second rep.
INTENSITY SCALE
As is.
MY STUFF
Did a lot of snatch balance reps at a light weight, worked up to 155, and then felt the basketball calling my name more than the bar, so shot around for a while.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
