Gym Jones Day 2- the fun continues

After a solid 11 hours of sleep last night Sam and I were ready to get back into the gym today. We were told to expect an "easy" form/drill/technique day once we got there. This was partly true..

Things I learned:
1. It is important to occasionally do a workout that somebody else designs. No matter how hard we try, we are all drawn to what we do best.
2. I have a very imbalanced core- strong "abs" week erector muscles. Mark was kind enough to show me some "fun" drills to practice to address my weaknesses. Sam got some good pics but we left our camera cord at home so the pictures will be posted later. 
3. Ring push-ups are VERY humbling!

Workout:
Warm-up
15 minutes on the airdyne
power clean drill progression (1 second drill)- focused on straight arms and big jumps (65#)
10 minutes of:
1 power snatch followed by 1 OHS- every 30 seconds for a total of 20 rounds (45#)

Main workout:
30 OHS using 30% of bodyweight
30 ring push-ups (goal is to have your feet higher than your hands in the rings) I only got 5 that way!
20 OHS 
20 ring push-ups (5 legit, 15 knees on ground)
10 OHS
10 ring push-ups (all knees on ground)
