Bringing the snatch back

The Q snoozed a bit this morning and rolled in at approximately 5:29. The pax were distracted with mumblechatter and didn’t even notice the 5:31 start time (it takes time to unload the bells). Today’s workout was Workout 2 of Week 5 of the Iron Volume program. We are in the Intensification phase, which sounds ominous. The temps were great and the sweat wasn’t too bad until we got into the snatches.
