^ How I felt doing snatches today.  Not literally though.

Garage Lifting

Warmup - Plyos, mobility, squat - OH squat - cleans w/ bar

Strength/Barbell Gymnastics - 

Snatch Grip Deadlift
5x45-3x135-3x185-5x3x225


//Not sure how close to a real deadlift the technique for this is suppose to be.  Obviously my back wasn't moving like it would in a standard grip DL.

Snatch Pull + Hang Squat Snatch (lowering to hang per Cal Strength snatch drill)
3x1x95-3x1x115-2x1x135


//Hmmm.  That little bounce forward thing is a little weird.  Not sure what's causing it.

Full Snatch
1x135-3x1x155-5x1x135

Thoughts:  Started good, ended frustrating.  So many damn misses on the full snatches.  Missed so many times in between makes at 155 that I scrapped attempting 165 and did a bunch at 135.

Body:  Minor shoulder tweak somewhere during the full snatches, my bad shoulder so a little looseness is normal for me, still will keep an eye on it.  Back tweak from yesterday was fine when I woke up this morning, legs a little bit sore though from all the squats.

  1. You need to set your back on the snatch deads just like you would in a snatch, the set up is exactly the same.

    When you go down the hang, its the exact same thing, your back looks "loose" - first thing you should do is set your back when you lower it down to a hang.

    Other than that, I think you just came up on your toes a little to soon (probably because your back wasn't set and you let the weight pull you forward a bit).

    Same thing with the full snatch, you came up on your toes a little bit too early. Other than that it looked good to me.

    Good landing!
