Big fan of that quote. the rest is "So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Snatches and cleans are always full squat unless instructed differently

Sometime last spring or summer I remember doing a WOD that had 95# squat snatches. I dropped to 85, then 75, then 65 before I could squat under it. It was very frustrating, considering I could easily power the weight up.

Today workout is one that many athletes may need to use less weight than they normally do.

It may be frustrating but your going to be better served in terms of intensity, improving technique and keeping your shoulders healthy, if you choose an appropriate weight.

P.S. The reason athletes cannot squat underneath moderate weight is often because their bar path is out away from their body, so that the weight pulls them forward. If they already have forward inclination in their squat (which most of us do) its going to make it even harder to get under a bar already out in front. So the fix is two fold....fixing the bar path & fixing the squat. Easier said as they say...

Steph, I know some my snatchs were ugly this morning but I'd still like my presence at the 6:00 am class acknowledged:)

My time was 25:?? 45#ROM

Thanks!

Great Job 9:30. Shout out to Rinat for choosing to use a lighter weight and work on his form.
Form first, then Intensity.

Steph -

Just wanted to thank you for your help this morning. I greatly appreciate (and needed) it.

Just throwing it out there for the folks that are interested in mobility/improving functional movement. I'm usually lurking around the box before and after WODs. Anyone is more than welcome to join in on the fun, so long as we don't step on anybody's toes. Just don't be a Schaefer and stink out loud. =)

you're welcome Ellie, I wanted more time to work on you set up position with you, so lets do that next time!!

Alison said...

I'll definitely be joining you Gene! Mobility is going to be a top priority as I'm coming back!
