Snatch Day

Spend the class working on your snatch. You have the option to do snatch, power snatch, hang snatch, or hang power snatch. If you don’t know the difference, you really need to get in today.

Injured? We can work around it.

        She thought my starting position was off, but it turned out that I’m tall.

    All by 3 trying to land in full squat, hips were coming up before chest, thanks Amanda. Also as it got a little heavy I had a hard time dropping down. At 95 I was going right to the bottom. 135 only dropping half way. Weight doesn’t feel heavy to me but just gotta keep practicing. Fun class. Thanks Amanda great coaching this morning

    Snatch Day
    Hang (Squat) Snatch to 95#
    Very humbling going from a 135# Power Snatch to struggling with a 95# hang squat snatch, but I feel like I corrected a few major issues that had been limiting me so I call it a good day!

    Footwork, dipping, dropping… feeling much better about the whole lift.

    REALLY great coaching Kevin. Thanks to you I was able to get this 300# snatch lift at the end of class…

    45×5 – 65×3 – 75×2 – 85×2 – 95×2 – 115 – few more reps at 95#….

    Thanks Kevin for the tips! At least I have the extension part down now… :D

    Row 100m x4 (w/ rest btwn) = 19s/18s/18s/18s …trying to break 18s/100m to get 1:30/500m. Considering the lack of momentum on the first pull(s), I will take it.

      Perhaps “El Luchador” can give you some rowing tips?

    • February 19, 2013 at 9:29 pm #

      What’s your best 500m row now? I’d like to get a sub-1:30 time too, but I’m just hovering around 1:38. My PR is 1:35.

      I think I’ll try experimenting with 100m sprints too. I should probably try longer distances too, I usually slow down the most in the last 20 to 25 seconds.

      Maybe if you applied yourself you could get a little heavier weight on the bar?

      feels so light when you nail the technique on a lift makes me always want to go heavier but the prep course was waiting for us to leave so figured i should move :P . Best part about it is knowing my technique was good on it makes it feel all the better.

        That’s awesome Lance, congrats on the big lift, and the most importantly solid technique.

    3x 55
    2x 65
    2x 70
    2x 75
    Back down to 55# for the rest of my reps to work on technique. Holy those are hard. I don’t work on them nearly enough.
    Feet were too narrow and I was jumping too soon.. Those corrections made a big difference, thanks Kevin

      You mean you did Snatch. Squat snatch is like saying you took a wet bath.
