'Randy'

75 power snatches @ 75#: 8:29

I used the hook grip for each of these...and now they hurt. Haha. I like snatches again. This weekend at the cert helped a lot. It is funny that everything that they taught about the snatch, Dominik already told me..but I just didn't do it! For some reason now I finally got it.

Also funny, how when telling my clients to do something, I tell them exactly how it should be done. I repeat and repeat again in several ways to get the desired result..ie. heels down on the high pull. Once they finally get the heels down, it feels right to them and they understand! Sometimes it just takes long for it to 'click'. Mentally it feels better in the beginning to pull with the heels up because they think that it is stronger, but then after repeated cues, the heels go down then, oooohhhhh!

It was the same phenomenon with me and the snatch.. don't pull too early, be patient, stay on the heels, etc.

I am going to work some snatch progressions and work my snatch up. I think a reasonable goal is 125# by then end of the month. Not going to go too fast to get there. Really want to avoid getting hurt (like last time!)
