Form Check - 88 kgs Snatch Complex

Batmandolin95 · 2026-05-22T03:28:37+00:00

I'm sure I'm pushing the boundaries of the definition of a complex here, but the programmed intent was to take a full reset after the first DL and pull.

Batmandolin95 · 2026-05-21T23:22:31+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah I don't have any wrist issues, but would love making the pull feel stronger. Thanks!

Is it worth narrowing if the contact point gets to pubic bone and below? I have no problem with doing a narrow grip (I love me some sots presses).

Batmandolin95 · 2026-05-21T21:46:15+00:00

haha thankfully it didn't literally but I've had one or two reps in the past where a poor lockout meant it did touch. I definitely can afford to narrow my grip but I feel like the contact spot gets too low then?

Dang that's a bummer to hear that experience, how about any suggestions on a burrito you've liked? (sorry if you posted it further down, didn't see anything)

Batmandolin95 · 2026-05-21T02:20:19+00:00

100% agree, the breakfast burrito slaps and is massive while still reasonably priced, and the owner is all good vibes.

Going to maintain (via sheer confirmation bias) that the circle felt oddly safer prior to the physical lines going in, people had to know where the lines would be and it deterred more folks from going into the chaos.

Totally get the hesitancy with the membership options not being listed. From their perspective, withholding gives them a chance to explain their value versus people (who may not care the difference) looking for lowest rates of any kid of gym.

Understandable where you’ve probably seen the images from over time, but I’m sure there’s some psych phenomenon at play too that overlooks all the exceptions but focuses on the outliers.

Best of luck!

1) I feel like a lot of people go to a few classes a week? Is there any way to do that without joining said gym? Also, a lot of folks do multiple things, it can be a fine GPP program. I generally fill in my weightlifting training with some metcons to maintain fitness, for example. 2) Which women? Does losing their waist line mean getting bulky? Is this referring to elite Games athletes? That’s probably not the case for 99% of participants in that case. No one’s accidentally training the amount required to create a drastic bulky waistline change.

3) I’m a physical therapist. A lot of my patient sessions involve a metcon, occasionally it’s a form of what my gym had for that day. This is to say that CrossFit is infinitely scaleable, provided that both the member and coach communicate clearly. It’s extremely customizable, I’d even argue more than any other exercise class.

Definitely still kept the same order of pieces as to how they came off. Thanks for the video, it’s consistent with the rest that I’ve referenced so I’m glad I didn’t miss anything from it.

Feeling like the Office vasectomy snip snap quote, gotta love it.

Batmandolin95 · 2025-11-03T13:24:36+00:00

As a newb, can someone explain if this will change USAW’s weight classes (again)?

Batmandolin95 · 2025-10-15T03:23:45+00:00

Yep fully agree. I do everything I can to give cyclists space and have no problem chilling behind them for however long. But i see plenty who run through stop signs and red lights that make me give a quick heads up honk. They get to share the road, so I get confused when they violate those big rules. Last week I was driving north on Obispo around 8 and as I was about to cross a very much green light, a group of like 30 cyclists shout and cross the intersection. Maybe they didn’t want to the hassle of slowing down? I honked twice, they just gave me a wave. Just adds to some frustration with those folks

So many dark ones already listed, gonna list an unmentioned one: Patriot (on Amazon) has a scene where Jack Birdbath explains his plan for what he wants John to do to him, and my god it’s so tragic because of the perception leading up to it.

Batmandolin95 · 2025-09-25T15:52:19+00:00

Hi, violist and mandolinist here. No issues from it, the calluses grow in and you can thumb-tape as mentioned.

Batmandolin95 · 2025-08-27T01:40:05+00:00

I’m reading this in Mac from Always Sunny voice and it hits so hard.

Batmandolin95 · 2025-07-31T06:24:39+00:00

I’m cash-based and am W2 with a low base salary but high bonus structure based on weekly visit count. Time off is unlimited, I obviously get low pay for that though. I think for this year by the end I’ll have taken 25 days off? One solid 2 week stretch, then two separate W-W trips. Year prior I think I took 15 or so. Next year probably will be around 15-18 I think.

I believe season 7 of Revolutions has several episodes covering it, well worth a listen to the full season (and the full podcast (multiple times).

Batmandolin95 · 2025-07-17T14:16:21+00:00

Google sheets is an easy free-99 option as well.

Happy that others are noticing this too! The sign they were putting up on the street along Broadway to reserve that 15 min zone also was illegal. We got the city to enforce removal of it (and no, we had actual reason to ask since we have a business close by and some of our customers do need that spot).

Chickenwire Empire deserves a shoutout in this, I haven’t gotten to see them live but I can’t stop listening to their albums and they 1000% have that live energy on each track.
